SKY NEWS :
SNP Angus Robertson: Goes again on UK-wide agreement before triggering Brexit
He pushed her on this last week. May had said that she would reach UK-wide agreement on Brexit before triggering Article 50 - Robertson points out she has not.
May says Brexit plan is for all the people of the UK.
Robertson says both houses had say so why not people of Scotland?
May: This isn't about whether people of Scotland should have a choice... they made choice in 2014 independence vote.
She has a point there to be fair, but it is also the reason why IMO, we need to be independent. These decisions can and will be made by the UK government as a whole, because it was a UK vote. Scotlands voting pattern for Brexit is of little concern to her and is merely a stat. She views Scotland as part of the UK, which it is and the Scottish public made sure of that. I have seen so many people who voted NO in the referendum, complain that she shouldnt be able to pull us out of the EU... well sorry but thats exactly what they voted for when they wanted to stay in a union. BAsed on those type of people, I would expect a much higher swing towards YES this time around, albeit maybe not a majority.
