Vote in our poll: When will another independence referendum happen?

AS we approach the 10th anniversary of the Scottish independence referendum, we want to hear from you. 

When do you think another Scottish independence referendum will take place?

Across the movement, there are differing perspectives on a timescale – and varying arguments about whether a referendum is the answer to securing independence at all.

Some people are more optimistic. First Minister John Swinney, for instance, said he thinks independence can be delivered within five years.

Meanwhile, more critical independence supporters like Jim Sillars, now 86, doubt they will see Scotland leave the Union in their lifetime.

A new poll released on Monday shows that 57% of Scots do want to see another vote on Scotland's future.

Support for Yes and No is still very evenly split, but after the Supreme Court verdict that Scotland does not have the power to hold an independence referendum without Westminster's consent, the path forward isn't completely clear.

So, let us know your thoughts by voting in our poll and leaving a comment below.

Note: The poll cannot be taken as statistically representative. It will run until Tuesday, September 17, at 1.30pm.
