As I've previously said, if the polls were very in favour of independence, she might have more of a case to argue. Something like this shouldn't be so narrow based, that "which way the wind is blowing" on the day of the vote might affect the outcome.

That's why there is an argument for supermajorities being required for such fundamental change but given the precedent has already been sent with the 2014 referendum it's unlikely to be proposed for subsequent ones. Comes across too much like you're stacking the deck.
