What about NI and Scotland who voted remain but it ultimately didn't matter because England will always have the final say? How frustrating it must be for them. I seriously hope they get their own referendums for independence.
And wouldn't it have been exactly the same had it gone the other way? Or is only the evil leavers who would have had to put up and shut up? What about the 39% of Scots who voted to leave the EU? Is their vote less valid than the 60 odd percent who voted to stay? Is your vote more valid than mine, is mine more valid than yours? Of course not. It's democracy. The majority wins.

If I were you I would be more worried about the implication of the little noises in the EU about not letting others in the EU who might want a referendum have one. Now that smacks of dictatorship.
