I do think it should have been a larger majority. It would have stopped things being so tricky afterwards, and (assuming it would have been over 50% leave) it would have given the EU a kick up the arse to sort out the undemocratic way it's run.

However I was and still am (just about) a proponents of remain. Dispite this, I believe europe only has it's self to blame for losing a major player like us.

It has to be said though, I'm sick of it, at this stage I want the current deal approved (it's vauge but not destructive) and to move on.

Interesting though that 64% of constituencies voted Leave but obviously many of their MPs did not honour that. And given that the total voting population of Scotland is 4 million the map speaks for itself
