Huh? Is there something I'm missing here? Why should a population made up of three different nationalities have any right to dictate how a different population and another distinct nationality engages in their own nation-building exercise?
Even if we ignore the issue of nationality (which is fine by me. Stupid nationalities), there is surely still a larger right to self-determination awarded to the people who live somewhere rather than those who don't? Should the home counties have some say in the workings of London because they have a historic economic and political relationship?
I quote " I am a citizen of the United Kingdom, and I have no vote in this referendum. Is my citizenship to be revoked on the say-so of the Scots? Is the country in which I was born and to which I have given my allegiance to be broken up without my agreement? The claim by some that Scottish independence would mean the end of the UK cannot be allowed to stand"
