But as a result we need to wait and see what the outcome of the UK leaving the EU is before there's any sense in asking the question again.
The deficit is certainly a serious problem, compounded by the SNP's foolishness in basing their economic strategy on the price of oil. While I'm sure it will go up in the long run - it's a finite and diminishing resource - when and how much are far from known.
It might also be wise to wait and see what happens to the Euro...

would you vote to leave the UK?
The Euro is unlikely to have a happy future
Ah well we are at least agreed that we don't need both Holyrood and Westminster :-)
I'll have a word with Mhairi about the lack of email response stats next time I see her at the football. Although to be fair, I haven't seen her there this season :-(
ETA: I'm also against another referendum at this time - it is clearly too soon and certainly a proportion of the 'general public of Scotland' are all independence referendummed out, plus there is too much uncertainty politically at the moment. However, I think it would be very strange for the leader of the SNP not to makes noises about this given the long term ramifications of Brexit. Having said that I think Sturgeon's priority is to minimise the negative impact of Brexit from within the UK and she knows it.
I'm sure I've read somewhere
So-called 'hard Brexit' - probably for independence. So-called 'soft Brexit' - wait and see what the terms are. I still favour a looser federation with England, if that could be compatible with retaining some form of EU membership too. Moon on a stick? Probably, but a compromise that keeps everyone happy is worth at least trying for I think. It's not a good idea to make it more difficult by recklessly calling for another independence referendum yet, until we know what's going to happen.

I actually think the current political leaders in Scotland come across as a reasonable bunch

A majority are not separatists, but there's a big group of folk who are emotional nationalists, even if when push comes to shove fear or cold reason means they won't vote for separation. So although they disagree with Sturgeon they get where she's coming from and will sympathise unless there's an immediate threat of independence. If you add that group to the separatists you probably have a pretty decent majority of the country.
