I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

    It was understood to be a once in a generation vote. People can’t just leave in a strop just because things change. That’s what things do.

      Telling people there was already a vote so it can’t be redone if circumstances change sounds pretty anti-democratic.

      Sure, but “things change” sounds like something relatively minor, Brexit was a major history altering event.

          It isn’t about convenience.

          I could make the same argument for the Scottish trying to recast their “once in a generation” vote. Also, a generation is about twenty years, so for the sake of arguing you could expect another vote in 2034.
