The Scottish parliament, in a symbolic motion, voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday Feb 07,2017 to reject Britain's march towards the European Union exit, with the semi-autonomous government warning Scotland would not be "humiliated".
The Scottish government said the vote - backed by nearly three quarters of Scottish lawmakers from across the political spectrum - is one of the most important in the parliament's 18-year history.
The Scottish Parliament voted by 90 votes to 34 that the draft legislation should not proceed as Edinburgh has received no commitment that it will be effectively consulted on the exit terms. The vote has no legal force, however.
The only dissenters were the Scottish Conservatives, who are aligned with Ms May's Conservative government in London.
