Who cares what England thinks?
Lots of poor areas of Scotland did well out of EU subsidies (and weirdly Wales too, guess they didn't spend enough on education there..) so why did they vote to leave? These were mainly the left behind areas.

Strangely these were often the areas in northern England, Scotland and Wales who voted most fervently to leave when it was actually their own government who failed to give them the help they needed, not the EU.

62% of Scotland voted to stay in the EU.
Pure and simple that is why they are wanting another UK referendum. Staying in the EU was one of the principle reasons many people voted to stay in the UK. Now that that isn't happening then what the hell!

World trade rules vs world trade rules, what can be worse?
