Brexit was voted for. Accept it, get over it and stop with the excuses. You (I assume) are grateful to live in a democracy rather than a dictatorship so just let democracy happen.

Literally none of those were excuses. You may not like it but the Tories have completely blown Brexit so far and it's all their own fault. Brexit could easily have been achieved by now with a party of any level of competence. They can't get that level of competence of course because even any Tory with sense doesn't want anything to do with this Brexit.

I'm sure in a few days we may well all have to accept that hard Brexit and all its disastrous consequences for the country is on its way.

But at least you'll be excited about it though.

Yes there is. It was voted for, democratically.
See your using your own logic against itself. There is a clear mandate for a second referendum in Scotland based on the last Scottish election. Now you say there isn't and include the non voters as people who don't want independence. So I'm using the non voters as people who don't want to leave the EU.
You can't have it both ways. It's amazing why you want to ignore the democratic right of the Scottish people. Startling really.

Scotland voted No, and current polls indicate they would do the same again. Your repeated ‘it’s not fair’ child-like tantrums won’t change that.

 

The last vote Scotland took returned a majority of pro-independence MSPs. To wit, there is a democratic mandate for indyref 2.

If there's the confidence there'll be another No vote when there's been a democratically elected mandate for a 2nd Indy referendum, then what's there to be scared of?

Nobody is scared. It’s just a colossal waste of money and time, as well as ignoring the original democratic vote.

 

This is your opinion, however there is a democratic mandate for it. Remember to go and edit the post where you said there wasn't before you come up with 'and where did I say there wasn't?'

There is not a democratic mandate for it. Scotland voted no and public polls still show the public are more in favour of staying in the Union. Accept this and move on.

The last vote Scotland took returned a majority of pro-Indepence MSPs. Thus, there is a democratic mandate.

Until the public want it, it should not happen. There is not a democratic mandate for it. Accept it, and move on. The sore loser tantrums will get your nowhere.

Scotland is part on the United Kingdom that will be led by a comfortable majority Tory government led by Boris Johnson. Suck it up and drink it in.

And how do the public indicate they want it, if not by returning a majority of MSPs that support the position? Will pro-independence parties winning the majority of the seats they stand in at the General Election indicate it?
