Five years since Indyref
Five years ago Scotland voted on whether or not to remain part of the UK.
The people of Scotland voted to stay, and an opinion poll this week suggested that this is what a larger majority - 59% of Scots still want today.
Jamie Greene, Shadow Transport secretary for Scotland, makes a good point here:

Now a referendum 25 years after the last one may be a different matter, but not 5 and in the case of the EU one not 3.
I will mention at this point that Chris, our host, voted to remain in the EU, but since the referendum result has acted in no other way than to respect that result, he is one of the honorable few.
And you are quite right, supporting a referendum - as both the SNP did for the 2014 Scottish Independence one, and as the Lib/Dems did in voting for the 2016 Brexit one - and then not respecting the result is in my opinion entirely wrong.
