I don't know. 50 years. 100 years. Not ten. Just because you disagree with someone you cant just ignore the result of a vote. Otherwise you're no better than trump and his supporters. The b***ks up is having a referendum without specifying the time period. Imagine having a general election when they don't specify when the next one should be.As I've said, I disagree with the way you're playing with timescales.
But as a general answer - yeah sure. If it was comparable. I.e. governments kept being elected, with big thumping majorities, with EU referendums in their manifestos. Why would anyone arbitrarily set a time limit on how often something like a referendum can happen, irrespective of whatever else is happening in the world?
I asked a few messages ago how long you think Scotland should have to wait before they're allowed another vote. What are you saying? Not 9 years isn't much of an answer. 20 years? 100 years? 1000 years?
I mean what if they had one and did leave. Would there be another referendum 10 years after that to rejoin? Every ten years you decide which country you are going to belong to?
I also don't believe for a second that any remainder would not be screaming bloody blue murder had they won the poll, and found another referendum on membership a few years down the line. Don't believe it for a second.
