    Just imagine Brussels had told the UK that they are not allowed to have a referendum. That's the difference between Scotland's 'two Unions.'

        Yes, I'm sure this is exactly how India etc felt...Using words like colonialism is daft, overinflated & incorrect.

        a majority voted for a manifesto to hold one in these circumstances.

        No, 46% of a 55% turnout voted for that manifesto. Opinion polls show clear majority opposed to holding another ref.
