Things have significantly changed since last independence vote (i.e. Brexit), in which Scotland voted Remain. It's a just another example of their views being ignored.
The party of the UK are the most likely to cause it's break up. They've stabbed NI in the back as well.

When the EU referendum was announced, I thought it unlikely the country would vote for Brexit. It did.
It no longer seems nearly as unlikely that Scotland won't have another referendum and then vote to leave. If the SNP wins a majority next year, it would be hard to refuse a referendum. The UK Government will be tied up with Covid and Brexit, neither of which is going smoothly ("World-beating technology" "Easiest deal ever") so won't be fighting from a position of strength nor will it have much "bandwidth" for a good campaign.
The sooner that non-financial arguments are advanced and won for the Union, the less likely Scotland leaves.
