Although I think the referendum was a disgrace start to end from 'all' involved in it on both sides..
It is about the right of Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland to call another independence referendum in light of the result and its desire to remain in the EU and in the light of a promise broken by the UK govt..
The fact the UK PM and the deputy PM at the time,Nick Clegg, also the leader of the Opposition,Ed Miliband made a promise that Scotland's future in the EU was secure if they voted to stay part of the UK.
The fact that promise,it seems as to a good few is fine to be now broken and Scotland's needs dismissed, That's what I am angry about.
As anyone would be at any promise made being broken.
A promise to a Nation indeed to anyone,should not be broken.

So you are advocating a Scottish referendum without any thought to what monies Scotland will survive on? You claim Scotland's needs were dismissed, what about their need to survive day to day as a country? They are not in the same position they were in in 2014. There are clear indications there is opposition to them joining the EU. I thought you were a labour voter with a social conscience. It sounds more like you want to throw Scotland under a bus to prove some sort of convoluted point.
