Ignore the EU Referendum as it breached 5.1m non-English voters' Human Rights.
The electorate in England (38.9m) is substantially greater than the electorates in Scotland (3.99m), Wales (2.27m) and N Ireland (1.26m). Thus the overall result is skewed in favour of the result in England to such an extent that the results in the other three countries are practically irrelevant.
The Referendum was a clear breach of the Human Rights of the voters in Scotland, Wales and N Ireland (representing 16.2% of the electorate) as whichever way they voted the result would still have been determined by the vote in England (83.8%). Because of the disenfranchisement of these voters it was not a UK vote but an England vote on behalf of the entire UK. The result should have required at least three countries to vote the same as the simple majority for a clear result to have occurred.
