Got to love Nicola and her grandstanding, love the way she says Scotland should be treated as an equal partner in the decision and process but how exactly would that work?? The referendum was won by a total of 1.4m votes (wrong decision in my view), so even if all the Scottish votes had been given to remain, the leave campaign would still have won across the UK as a whole!! Scotland should have a say proportionate to its size within the UK, which equates to about 10%. That might be enough to swing the vote but its as much as equal should mean in this case.
