The rest of the UK are given their own vote on whether we want to vote Scotland out of the UK, with the power to override a ‘NO to independence’ vote

Additional Information

The people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland are given their own vote on whether we want to vote Scotland out of the UK, with the power to override a ‘NO to independence’ vote from the Scottish people. Why should they get a vote and we don’t?

Scotland's vote for independence simply put is the same as saying “we are a group of friends, but do we want to carry on being friends with this lot or should we form a new group of friends away from this lot?’ Regardless of the outcome I find the whole vote slightly hurtful and what makes it worse is the fact the rest of the UK doesn’t get a say, so in the interest of equality the rest of the UK should get a vote on whether we allow Scotland to stay in the UK with our result overriding a potential no vote for independence from the Scottish people.
