Point taken - you are of course correct. I actually very much expected this to be part of the process, but it seems that overconfidence on the part of the Cameron government resulted in this decision not being taken. A move like this does tend to reinforce the perception that Westminster is "more important" than devolved administrations. I meant this more in the sense that I don't think the legitimacy of the outcome can be questioned constitutionally. Can you imagine the chaos in the U.K. had England voted to leave and Scotland and NI had prevented it, though? That would probably fracture the union faster!
