oh, and 3. The Swiss constitution is fundamentally different to just about anything else, anywhere in the world. It's not a good analogy for any part of our political process.

Is point 1 definitely ruled out? If the SNP won a majority next year, it would be hard to refuse their request for another once-in-a-lifetime referendum?
I take your point on point 2.
No analogy there on point 3. I pointed out how referendums are run in a nation vastly more experienced at running them than ours in reply to Pierre describing the Brexit referendum as "That is proper democracy at work."
