    My wife was born in Edinburgh and we'll be legging it up the M6 as fast as we can with her passport stuck to the inside of the windscreen if Scotland remain in the EU one way or the other.

    Have you seen https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 ?

    Just checked, now 2,955,453 signatures and increasing by the rate of 50-100 a second.

    I like the sentiment, but I don't think there is any realistic chance of this having any effect. The votes have been counted; the results are in. Accept it and move on.

    That petition was set up by a pro-"Brexit"er, who was worried that the Leavers might not win. He's now complaining that his thing has been hijacked...

    (Also, this would define a new type of democracy - one where we take votes and decide by majority outcome, unless we don't like the majority outcoime in whcih case we simply do over the vote. Rinse and repeat until we finally get the desired outcome).

    Oh, that would never happen. Oh, wait. It did. Denmark, Ireland, Greece, and others have all ignored referendum results in the short-term, using them as an advisory to make changes that were more acceptable.
