The 2015 UK General Election thread
A generation as I suggested is 25 years. A second referendum six years later is reasonable if there's evidence that opinion has changed significantly during that time.
If Unionists can't make a compelling case (ie more than 55%) for the status quo, they need to either keep winning marginally as you suggest, or change the terms. Like the Irish Unionists did in the 1920s, and might do again...

It's what Rogin said. Unionists have to win lots of time, separatists once. And note there's never any referendum offered on the terms of independence, when there's a good case surely?
