- Many people voted to remain in the UK because if Scotland left the UK it would have to apply to be in the EU again as an independent country which not only takes years but could be severely detrimental to Scotland's economy. FACT this was a main point for the remain campaign if you all weren't watching it closely back in 2014.
-Now the Tory party (not the biggest in Scotland) and the English vote has dragged Scotland out of the EU out of her will. Hence you can see how many people could be upset.
- Also with regards to Northern Ireland, this result could affect it's future in the UK too. Nationalism isn't about being anti United Kingdom, it relates to personal identity.
- This is a democratic referendum and ofco should be respected. I'm just trying to give people a different perspective. Also isn't saying that a Leader of a major political party in the UK should 'shut up' undemocratic? We live in a great multi-cultural society with loads of mixes of views and perceptions. Its how our society works.
