That aside, I note you sidestepped my question with an oblique swipe at Margaret Thatcher, which really is a tired old cliche even on Clydeside these days.
Why should a remain victory in a 2019 referendum settle the issue when a leave victory in 2016 did not - especially as the result of that referendum was never implemented?

It’s not a sidestep of the question. Society is fractured. People in working class towns and villages have literally nothing in common with the London financial bubble.
For many they have literally no investment in the success, or otherwise, of the wider economy because they won’t (or at least believe they won’t) see it.
The referendum won’t solve people’s problems either way, but it’ll solve politicians problems.
