Scotland votes overwhelmingly to stay in the EU Friday June 24,2016

 Scotland votes overwhelmingly to stay in the EU 



All 32 local authorities in Scotland vote to stay in the European Union

Almost two thirds - 62 % - of Scots who voted had backed staying part of the EU, with 38 % opting for Brexit.

But Scotland is set to be 'dragged out of the EU' against its will as majority in England and Wales back Brexit

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland had delivered an 'unequivocal' vote to stay in Europe and said it was 'clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union'. 



It suggests she is already planning a second independence referendum after the SNP manifesto for the Scottish elections last month said they would demand another vote if there is 'significant and material' change in circumstances, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU against its will
