Musket it is true that Scotland rejected independence but it is also true that from a starting position the end result was very close, and that since the referendum the SNP itself has gone from strength to strength, and that the core support for independence is much stronger now than it was even 2 years ago - so although another referendum is not on the agenda for the forseeable future the issue is far from over. Remember the current devolution settlement itself came about on the second referendum a couple of decades after the first.

Ake I don't believe there would be UDI. I know there are calls from folks posting on the net for UDI but there is all kinds of daft stuff posted on the net. Sturgeon has said over and over again (indeed you could see last night she was getting really pissed off having to repeat it over and over again) that the only way independence would come about was if the SNP stated in their Holyrood manifesto that they were intending to hold a referendum; that the country would need to then give them a working majority at Holyrood; and that there would then need to be a Yes vote in said referendum. UDI can only be an option if there was a clear majority wanting independence and that majority's decision was being denied by the UK gvt. Neither of these factors exist at the moment.
