why do Unionists always seem so keen on sneering at the smaller nations and treating them like shit? Shouldn't they view them as equals?

I'm not interested in having another pro/anti-independence debate.
However, I'm Scottish. I currently reside in Scotland and I want what's best for the country I live in. Independence is not it.

You seem to have the view that the independence question shouldn't be asked, lest an outcome occur that you don't agree with.
There's a pro-independence majority in the Scottish parliament, that alone shows that there is a case for a referendum to be held. Whether or not Scotland 'should' secede is a separate matter entirely.
I'd be interested to hear any positive reasons for Scotland remaining in the UK, I can't think of any.

1) An incalculable amount of money wasted to change the UK flag on absolutely everything it appears on.
Looks a bit shit really

Isn't Sturgeon's whole push for a second referendum based entirely on the fact that she is unwilling to accept the outcome of the first?
Anyway. As I said, uninterested in getting into a pro/anti independence debate. You're not going to change my mind as a unionist. I'm not going to change your mind as a nationalist. It's irrelevant, anyway. There isn't going to be a second referendum any time in the near future. Not an official one, at least. Perhaps Sturgeon might piss away some of our tax money on a mock referendum in the hope of some kind of self-validation - assuming she 'wins', of course...

isn't her whole push for civic nationalism in an independent Scotland because, WAIT FOR IT, as the leader of the SNP that is in fact HER JOB?

So you haven't got any good, fact based reasons to leave?

In that case, why do you think Truss's comment was a good thing?
