You cannot have one country vetoing another country's self-determination - such a proposition is completely illogical
    I guess there's a side issue of whether Scots living outside Scotland should also have a vote. There's a precedent in that ex-pats from various countries can still exercise their vote in their home country elections. Thailand is but one example of that, as is (I believe) Australia

    It's not the same frequent. A citizen of a nation state is easily verifiable and therefore can be allotted a vote. This is not the case with England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

    Anyway, the point is moot. There won't be another referendum this century..
