Always curious about the widespread assumption that any referendum on Scottish independence should involve *only* Scots voting, as if it’s no business of the rest of the people living in the UK if their country gets broken up.

I get of course that it's for the people of Scotland to decide first of all if they want to become an independent country, but on a change as important as that why no notion that this might be followed by a nationwide referendum?

After all in most countries, such a change would require a formal constitutional amendment, which would not only require a decision to be made by the country as a whole, either by referendum or by super-majorities in the national legislature. @colmocinneide
