Even if all of Scotland pulls together and votes one way, their votes will never be heard because the rest of the U.K. does not align with Scottish view on politics. Now they can show it. And now is the time to get out before the deal is sealed.
Now replace Scotland with the UK and the UK with Europe and THAT is why I voted leave! We may as well not even have a UK government as all our laws have to be given the ok from Europe first, just look at the Tampon Tax debacle!
You know, back in the 80s and 90s the UK could have built a counterweight to the Franco-German axis that would have had a majority. But the Tory and Nu Labor goverments' utterly selfish attitude to the EU (all take and no give) alienated their natural allies (Scandanavia, Netherlands, Ireland, Czechs and others) to the point that they lost all crdibility within the EU. Th straw that broke the camel's back was Call Me Dave's realigning of the Tory MEPs with the Neo-Fascist grouping in the European Parliament. The UKs lack of voice in Europe was completely self inflicted.
