Immature is one word. Pathetic is another. Stubborn and close-minded are two more.

To keep calling referendums until you get the vote you want is like a spoilt five-year old holding her breath until her stupid parents give her what she wants.
Indeed the circumstances have changed. What I find particularly galling is the idea that a "stay" vote was (in Sturgeon's argument) conditional on the Scotts and English having no disagreements forever and ever.
