The last Indy ref was lost on economic stuff.. The establishment playbook for the Brexit ref was based on the Project Fear narrative in the Indy ref (which worked). Currency is the real stumbling block for the SNP to engage with more than the face painters in Scotland.

Which is ironic as it means there was a plan...unlike Brexit. If indyref wants to go negative "England does whatever it wants, we don't even vote Tory" will work somewhat...
The greens also support indyref.
But yes there are big hurdles, such as currency and 5% deficit.
Problem is that Brexit will only get worse as more and more checks have to be done, so far those have been ignored.
If Labour gets in and positively engages with the EU / Scotland it will calm things down. Have to see what happens...

There was no detailed and costed economic plan for Brexit and that didn't matter either.
Neither did the Irish/NI border, all the practical issues...I think independence is very risky ATM but then the argument of being sensible is lost tx to Brexit and Scotland being ignored and shafted.
Sturgeon I think rather waits for excellent timing, but anti Tory sentiment may just swing it.
Sure, not "rational" but we've been there before.
