Our Colonial Masters

If Scottish Labour and/or the Scottish Tories wish to prevent Scotland from having a second independence referendum, there is an obvious mechanism available to them: win enough seats in a Scottish election to prevent a pro-independence majority of MSPs forming.

Anything else is to deny Scottish democracy, and that means that Scotland ceases to be a free country (that has freely chosen to remain a part of the UK), and instead becomes a colony.

Because if we are a free country, we have the right to revisit that decision, and indeed to revisit it as often as we like and whenever we like.
