Sorry 0762, I think you are wrong. The UK is the member of the EU, not England or Scotland or Wales or NI, its the UK as a whole. Westminster is not negotiating on behalf of or instead of anybody, thats their job to conduct these negotiations for the whole of the UK as it stands. I agree that the Scottish voters didn't want to leave and the referendum showed that but while Scotland is still part of the UK then the EU will negotiate with Westminster only. Obviously if the Indy movement had won in 2014 or wins in the future, then Scotland would at that point be free to negotiate on its own behalf directly with the EU, but that isn't the current political landscape we are in.
I also agree with the Union being more about England, that is something you see all the time across the globe, small parts of a union or partnership being dominated by the far larger partner. Doesn't mean things are done to the detriment of smaller partners, but it does mean that the bulk of the say and the bulk of the benefit will be dictated by the larger partner usually.
