Och, obviously that must be true. On the other hand, if the Scotland would have a 100% turnout and the ~1300000 people who did not vote cast their votes to "remain" it could actually change the decision… by about 38000 votes. That's only 14000 votes more than rejected ballots. Data taken from: http://www.bbc.com/news/politics/eu_referendum/results Assumed Population of Scotland as about 3987370 people obtained by: Amount of people who abstained in Scotland derived by simple subtraction as: 1307857 Difference between total amount of votes in UK totaling in 1269501 obtained by: Difference between the above result and Scots who did not vote: Now that's a fucking slim margin. That's less than one percent of total electorate and guilt shifted at the only country that completely voted to remain. Of course it's their fault. Not that my very own margin of error is around that amount. That's a fucking joke. I had to do this math above just to see it myself. I actually wanted to not believe you klein, sorry about that but I think you can get my disbelief. This is a god damned pathetic play on part of media and everyone who does not have the stones to deal with consequence. And to think that I don't consider myself all that responsible for my actions when comparing myself to most people. Thanks for telling me about that one. (pro_votes + con_votes) / "decimal form of turnout"
total_UK_remain - total_UK_leave = 17410742 - 16141241 = 1269501
Scots_abstained - above = 1307857 - 1269501 = 38356
