1: The majority of people in Scotland do not want independence

Correction: The majority of people in Scotland DID not want independence.
Since they were last asked, a great deal has changed. They are now to be forced out of the EU against their will and this changes things totally.
Scots voted by 62-38 percent to remain in Thursday's EU membership referendum yet still they will have to leave.

It is likely that many Scots voted No in 2014's independence referendum as voting Yes would have meant them leaving the EU, at least temporarily.

Post-Brexit polls have 60% of Scots now supporting Scottish independence
Scottish independence has nearly 60 per cent support

It seems that Nicola Sturgeon is the only leader with plans for what to do now (the Leave camp admit they made no plans for what to do if they won) and as such she inspires confidence.
