Well the proportion vote to stay in the EU in Scotland was much higher than the proportion to leave in the UK as a whole, or in England and Wales.

It would have been perfectly possible to make a decision to leave conditional on all four parts of the UK voting for that. That's what the SNP and Plaid Cymru called for.

In a new referendum there'll be two differences to the EU referendum, both of which would help favour a vote to stayiing in the EU as an independant country - immigrants from the EU will be able to vote, and so will 16 and 17 year olds, as in the last independence referendum.
