They did vote in 2014 to remain in the UK while the UK was part of the EU.
They were even told that was their best way to secure continuing EU membership.
At the time of the referendum in Scotland, no party in the UK looked like winning an election outright so no EU referendum was even on the cards let alone guaranteed.
David Cameron did stress in May 2015, there would only be an EU referendum 'if' the Conservatives won an overall majority,something he never expected to happen at all.
That for me, should make that first Scottish referendum void,as they voted on a totally false position that voting to remain in the UK also meant being safe as a member of the EU too.
So they should get one and I think they could do even better than England if they went for it next time.
