Should regions be allowed repeated independence referendums?

Context

Independence referendums allow regions to vote on secession from their parent state, but the question of whether they should be repeatable—rather than settled by a single vote—remains contested. Scotland's 2014 independence referendum was framed as a "once in a generation" event, yet Scottish leaders have since sought additional votes, raising fundamental questions about democratic legitimacy, regional autonomy, and state stability. This debate pits self-determination against concerns that repeated referendums could destabilize governance and create perpetual political uncertainty.
