It wasn't a lie.
At the time of Scotland's referendum there was no intention of holding a Brexit referendum.
In case you've forgotten, it wasn't decided that a Brexit referendum would be held until 2016 - after attempts to negotiate concessions from the EU earlier that year failed.
You'd be better asking why the SNP didn't object
before the Brexit referendum took place since by accepting participation in the referendum the outcome was obviously also accepted.
What was a lie however is the "
once-in-a-generation opportunity" claim from the SNP at the time of the Scottish independence referendum if the push for another one continues.
