    38% of Scotland voted to Leave. 44% of Northern Ireland voted to Leave. 52% of Wales voted to Leave.

    The idea that this is merely a mess of England’s making is a little unfair, because there’s plenty of blame to go around; Why did 44% of people in Northern Ireland think leaving the EU would be a good idea?

    They pushed a question on people that they had no real ability to answer, and then forced us to answer that question with what was essentially a Yes/No answer.

      I mean that one’s easy, they wanted to break the Good Friday Agreement and put up a border in Ireland. Didn’t work out for them but they managed to break it anyway by going into government with the Tories.
