2) That said, I do find it a wee bit strange that Scotland (significantly not just Scots in the Sept 14 referendum I hasten to add) said they did not want to be governed by people in Westminster they did not vote for wanted to be governed by people in Brussels they did not vote for. Eh?
1/ Absolutely. And voted to remain so and ought therefore to abide by the will of the majority of British people rather than claim some sort of exceptionalism.
2/ Yes. It is reminiscent of the Irish, who, having fought for their independence from unelected foreign rulers for 800 years, finally achieved it, only to hand it over to unelected foreign rulers again 50 years later.

I can only presume that unelected foreign rulers are fine as far as the Scots and Irish are concerned - just so long as they're not English.
