You know, I am entirely foxed by the large number of anti-Brexit folks that are entirely pro-Scottish independence. (And, to a lesser extent, those who are pro-Brexit but anti-independence.). As far as I can tell, they're essentially the same idea, just dressed in different flag.

Historical grievance: Check
Complaints about overall centralized power: Check
Actually permitted an awful lot of local power in reality: Check

I genuinely don't get those who have directly opposite opinions on the two issues.
