Why should we expect Scotland to to stay with us when there's obviously an imbalance of influence in an union in which each country should be equal? Like Niamh said, it's utterly hypocritical to make Scotland stay when the Brexit supporters apparently voted to leave because they didn't want to live under EU 'rule' anymore (It was immigration, let's be real.). It's the same situation.
I don't support an EU rerun because it was obvious to anyone that wasn't wilfully ignorant what was going to happen if Leave won. People who make bad decisions deserve to face the consequences but the result of Scotland Ref, at the time, wasn't a bad decision. It was the only decision really but that decision has turned sour through no fault of Scotland's which I believe means they should get another shot at deciding whether or not they want independence. If they stay then they face the consequences with eyes open like the rest of us.

Scotland voted to remain in the union knowing full well the union was set to vote on the EU. Scotland voted in the EU referendum as part of the union, not as a separate country. I don't see why that is hard to understand.
