@CloudyMrs @simon_brooke I think that often, the ignorance or dismissing of a "Scottish viewpoint" comes from a Unionist tactic to deny that there is a Scottish identity, as such. They paint Britain as a single, homogenous country, thus implying that dividing off parts of it via independence or reunification is pointless at best, damaging at worst.
Politicians will do this consciously, and the London media generally just accept it by osmosis.
