The UK is the only Union of countries in the EU. All other members are sovereign states answerable to nobody. Scotland wishes to be a sovereign state within EU and equal to the other states. Currently Scotland has no say in EU is not represented and has to do what Westminster says. Not good enough.

We may consist of 3 different nations that make up our United Kingdom but they are very different places with there own political ideologies, the time for change is apparent and a requirement really.
Its four actually.
I would rather remain part of the European Union as would the majority of the people who hail form these parts, that's the fact of the matter.
There were many areas in England, maybe Wales and Ireland too where the
majority wanted to remain..... However overall the vast majority in
the United Kingdom voted to leave.... that's democracy working!!?
I want to be ruled by a government elected and comprised of people, from my own nation, that cannot be overruled or kowtowed by others 300 odd miles away in what amounts to another country.
You are ....'The Scottish Parliament', mostly consisting of SNP's ?
You also have representation of Scottish MP's in Westminster. Indeed I
have watched Alex Salmond on Prime Ministers questions time

I, a Canadian, also watched questions time for the first time the other day. It appeared to me that Alex was silenced and 'brushed off' by T. May at every turn and it looked like she was enjoying herself doing just that. Dysfunctional family indeed. Without proper representation or communication most professionals would advise moving out and starting afresh.

Second vote can't be blocked. Would be in breach of international law. Scotland as a country has the right to self determination.
Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are not independent countries but are four somewhat autonomous regions which are part of the country known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or just United Kingdom for short”
