I appreciate that Scotland is an obvious major partner in the UK. But doesn't it seem ultimately unfair that in a case like this, where there is a massive constitutional question, that two out of four constituent countries have their views essentially ignored?
- Nursie 10y agoThe British public voted as individuals, on Brexit. Scottish votes were not ignored, they counted the same as English ones.
- matthewmacleod 10y agoI appreciate that, and it's a valid point it one considers all votes to fungible. However, the constitutional settlement of the UK clearly shows that devolved administrations have some level of autonomy. There is no question as to the legitimacy of the vote, but it's certainly not the case that "one person, one vote" is the only way to evaluate constitutional referenda.
