It's all down to opinion and the block vote, the protest vote in England, most definitely decreed that Brexit would be a reality. There are millions of people south of the border who concur with Cumming's viewpoint that too many stupid people swung this vote the wrong way. As for Scots destroying the interests (and seats) of the NLP in Scotland, many Scottish voters 'saw the light' and voted for the party that had Scottish interests at heart and fully represented Scottish interests. Indeed, if the indigenous Scottish block vote had only been counted in 2014, Scotland would've been an independent country and would be preparing for that eventuality. I'd say the events of 2014 rendered a huge proportion of the Scottish population to be politically aware and motivated and that 'enlightenment' covers a broad spectrum of age groups who totally changed the political landscape in Scotland forever!!
