For me that makes sense, if a kingdom is not united in a decision then the portion that is not represented should have the option to split.

It seems rather telling that Scotland would rather be associated with the rest of Europe than the rest of the UK... Do they know something we don't? :/

there is no basis for that statement. Scotland voted to remain part of the UK, it voted to remain part of the EU. Where has any Scottish vote expressed a preference to be in Europe rather than the UK

That is what is being proposed now isn't it? It could be said that Scottish voters were spooked by the suggestion that they would be forced out of Europe to ensure they voted to remain in the Scottish referendum...Now they are being forcibly removed anyway then they have the right to vote again.

Again this is just my opinion, I don't have any knowledge of any factual evidence for this you understand.

This is why i suggested they have a vote to see if they want another ref.They may not.If they do then it would be pretty clear indication that they want to leave the UK.If not then it should'nt be forced upon them by Sturgeon after the turmoil the last one caused in Scotland.

I'm sure that will happen unless Sturgeon takes a leaf out of Mays book and does what she wants regardless?...

May has a mandate to leave the EU.We weren't asked to vote on the fine details of it.That will depend on how the negotiations go.
