Summarization
Twitter users are engaging in a discussion about Scottish independence and the possibility of another referendum. Some express skepticism that the English would want Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, while others argue that it is Scotland that needs England more. Critics of the idea that there should be only one referendum on independence point out that elections are held every five years, and argue that it is undemocratic to limit the number of times a referendum can be held. Some accuse English people of trying to dictate Scottish choices, while others argue that independence is not a once-in-a-lifetime decision, and that democracy requires the ability to revisit issues over time. Many Scottish independence supporters reject the idea that the 2014 referendum was a "once in a lifetime" event, pointing out that this phrase does not appear in the legislation that governed the referendum. Others argue that Scotland's economic prospects would be better if it were an independent country.
