Well, since you're in a trolling mood and I like bait from spending too many years on 4chan, why don't you enlighten me on why the conservative vote ends a second referendum?

See, on the election day, I decided that given the fact that politics have been ulterised where the conservatives only gained a majority as a result of the unionist vote swing from labour and have to partner up with a hard-right DUP that it would be unwise to press forward with it since a positive campaign would be difficult to run and the prospects non-existent with Ruth Davidson's conservatives and DUP in power making the prospects of actually achieving it dead in the water since Labour can't and wouldn't want to gamble backing it with their gains which also drained SNP's vote share this election.

The upswing from the situation though is that Ruth Davidson and her conservatives are, for once, directly and completely accountable for everything that happens at Westminster now. Before she would deflect critique of the rape clause since she has no real influence on the situation and would try and say Sturgeon in Holyrood should mitigate it.

In otherwords, they're going to be completely judged on their actions and performance while 70% of the electorate in Scotland is disenfranchised which was the original grievance that sparked the independence movement due FPTP political shenanigans.

I think most of us believe the position the conservatives are currently in is completely unsustainable and will lead to another snap election after the conclusion of brexit talks.

So, I have a question, what do you think is going to happen then?
