Very well put. :thumbs:

1. Int. Country Pub: Snug - Night

Nigel Farage and Nicola Sturgeon are sitting at a table sharing a bottle of wine.

NIGEL
(To Nicola)
Nicola, why do you want to leave the UK? It's just
causing trouble by holding another Scottish Independance Referendum.

NICOLA
(Frostily)
Because you English and Welsh have forced we Scots
to exit the Eu, when we want to remain.

NIGEL
(With bemusement)
But that's Democracy Nicola...And anyway, 39% of Scots
voted to leave.

NICOLA
(With rising annoyance)
Bugger Democracy. Why should you sassenachs dictate
what we do. Our future is with the EU, not the UK

NIGEL
So if you win a Scottish Independance Referendum,
you are going to take Scotland into the EU?

NICOLA
Too bloody true I am

NIGEL
(Shakes head)
But you'll hold an EU Referendum first, surely?

NICOLA
Aye, but I know we'll win that.

NIGEL
But not all Scots will vote to to enter the EU.
I mean....at least 39% won't, because they
voted to leave the EU in our Referendum.

NICOLA
What's your point?

NIGEL
(Nervous laugh)
Well.... Then you'll be forcing 39% of Scots to
be in the EU when they don't want to be.

NICOLA
Well that'll be their tough bloody luck. They'll
have to accept the result of the Referendum.
and go with the majority
(Glares at him)
That's bloody Democracy.

Nigel shrugs.

Alright, that helps to educate me on their mentality. :laugh: I haven't looked at the math, but I wouldn't be surprised that if the 39% that had voted out had voted in, Remain would have won. Thus, you could argue that those minority of Scots are to "blame" for Leave winning. :hee:
