如果公投失败 还会有新公投吗

If Scotland votes No, will there be another referendum on independence at a later date?

如果公投结果是不独立，是否再未来还会有独立公投？

The Edinburgh Agreement states that a referendum must be held by the end of 2017. There is no arrangement in place for another referendum on independence.

《爱丁堡协定》规定公投必须在2017年底前举行。其它独立公投并未达成协议。

It is the view of the current Scottish Government that a referendum is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This means that only a majority vote for Yes in 2017 would give certainty that Scotland will be independent.

现任苏格兰政府认为本次公投是一生一次的机会。这意味着只有在2017年的公投中获得多数票才能确保苏格兰的独立。
