Well, clearly not. When so much else is accepted as being different, in blocks we accept and legislate for differently already (devolution, law, political ...difficulties), then it is at least arguable that the single UK leave vote is unsatisfactory.
The areas in which devolved bodies, such as the Scottish Parliament, are authoritative is set out in law. In the case of the Scotland Act, international relations, including with the EU, are explicitly reserved matters. A single UK leave vote is therefore all that is required.
No argument from me, a single leave UK vote is all that is legally required. That does not mean it is a satisfactory outcome.
But the outcome is Britain's departure from the EU. How could that not be satisfactory?
Good to see you agree that Northern Ireland at the very least should remain in EU
