Then Scotland needs to be independent before it dictates to the UK.
And how's that supposed to work?.

Scotland voted overwhelmingly to stay in the Eu, Our politicians are doing what's best for Scotland and it's people and that means staying in the EU.

Last time I looked, you lost that vote.
So, you lost.
You get over it.
Yep - Scottish people want to be part of the UK.
It's only those sour Scots who have a massive inferiority complex that seem to think they are important, when really they are just a colony.

it was a union sold to Scotland over 300 years ago , the people of today no longer wish to be in this Union
“Just over half of English voters think that England subsidises Scotland financially and are divided as to whether or not they are happy with this arrangement. Conservative voters are by far the most likely to think that England provides financial support to Scotland — three quarters believe this to be the case and most of them are unhappy about it.”

England voted for the conservatives by majority
and so this article is only further proof we should be independent
Brexit worth letting Scots go, say %75 of Tory Leave voters in England
"worth letting go"
Letting , implies that we need permission , load of #in #e
but hey , its what the majority of tory voters want , so cant be a bad thing.
its about time , we went our separate ways , and if its what the majority of the tory voters want , then so be it .

Seriously though mate, do you honestly think Scotland is a colony and we should do as we are told ?

The Union came about through blackmail, Land grabs and threats of starvation to the people of Scotland through sanctions.

Democratically: Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland get a proportionately equal representation in a UK-wide referendum. The size of constituencies is broadly similar, but with English MPs generally supporting more people on average, so a slight democratic discrepancy against the English.
Financially: Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland get a disproportionate share of the UKs wealth spent on then compared to England.

After reading parts of this thread, I'm left wondering why people question the concept of the "electoral college" in the USA. Scotland is a bit like some of our fly-over states that just wouldn't have a voice without the electoral college. The US is built upon a concept that one or two states in the union should not be able to impose their will on the nation. California and New York are the equivalent of England (London) where the densest populations are.
