> Although I am skeptical that we'd see independence before 2020
Wait, didn't we just have a democratic vote on that in 2014 and the result was no? Are we going to have another one because the yes people aren't happy about the result?
No, we'd probably see a second vote only if the SNP took a majority in the Scottish parliament again and the UK voted to exit the EU. Leaving the EU is really bad for Scotland (arguably all parts of the UK, but Scotland especially for many economic reasons), and might spur a bunch of people that voted "no" last time to vote "yes" if it were held again.
Like I said, I consider that unlikely, but it's a risk.
