No. Northern Ireland and Scotland are the UK’s most pro-EU regions with almost 62% of people in Scotland and 55% in Northern Ireland voting to remain.
It has certainly raised new questions about independence in Scotland and could force Scots to consider whether they want to be in the British union or the European union.
Nicola Sturgeon said a second independence referendum is “highly likely” in the next two-and-a-half years following UK’s vote to leave the EU.
At a press conference at Bute House, her official residence in Edinburgh, where she was flanked by the Saltire and the EU flag, she said that it was “democratically unacceptable” for Scotland to be taken out of the EU against its will.
Every part of the country voted to remain, and she said her government would now begin preparing legislation to enable another independence vote if the Scottish Parliament decided it was appropriate.
The last battle to keep Scotland in the union was fought less than two years ago. Supporters of independence were defeated, winning 45pc of the vote.
They say Brexit will mean Scottish voters will have far more freedom to control fisheries, farming and health policy.
