It should have been the separate wishes of the 4 Nations that was taken into account.
Otherwise what we have is a dictatorship over the other Nations of the UK where the larger populated one always rules supreme.
However the PM did not put any locks on the vote so this is where we are.
However yes England from its population voted to leave the EU.
Wales voted to leave the EU by 52.5% to 47.5%.
Northern Ireland voted 56% to 44% to remain in the EU and as you say Scotland voted 62% to 38% to remain also.
There was no majority of the Nations to leave but we are leaving only because of the voting strength of the population of England.
So Scotland has every right to feel democracy, 'true democracy that is', as to size not being the main factor but equality of status,, has been extremely ill served.

Sensible debate - Wherefore art thou?
I will not respond Joey, because I said it all in detail in the post which you and T.S seem to have so much diificulty with.
There is no debate to be had - it is all now TRUTHFULLY just a case of you following the threads and agreeing with whatever your cronies say - no matter how ludicrous that may be.
And you are the one who pledged acceptance of the DEMOCRATIC result of the Referendum.
