How has Wendy blown it for the supporters of independence?
If a referendum were to be enforced now most would apparently not vote for it. That is why Salmond does not call for one now is it not?

She clearly hasn't.
But as to the timing of the referendum - Salmond got the biggest vote at the election, and formed the government. That gives the SNP the right to control the timing of the referendum.
Wendy's not stupid though - she's trying to cause dissent in the nationalist ranks and hoping there'll be a move to speed things up and move to a less favourable timescale.
