They don't need to speak for you, it simply has to resonate with enough voters to prompt them to buy into the SNP manifesto commitment around it.

While it may well have been something else had the UK remained in the EU, it would have to be compelling to enough voters to persuade them to back the SNP on that basis.

Equally what people want to happen next is for them to decide in elections and any subsequent referendum if it takes place.

Scottish voters at a fixed point in time don't get to unilaterally decide their opinion is the only one that matters for 25, 40, 100 years regardless of what happens in the intervening period.
