A referendum should be viewed as an instruction to government as to the direction they want it to proceed. Once done, it's up to the Government to get on with it.
Referendums should be used very sparingly and should not become the norm.We elect politicians to make decisions on our behalf. The Scots have made their decision. Now it should be honoured. The SNP should be concentrating on increasing their devolved powers, not going for independence.

Referendums should be used when a matter necessitates it. If Scotland continually backs an SNP Government with that in its manifesto that's literally the will of the people. They have the mandate to run one every single day of the year until people get bored and vote for someone else.
That's democracy.
What you want the SNP to do, as an English person living in England, is entirely irrelevant to the matter.
