I'm inclined to agree with SCO on this (apart from his "regional" jibe, as Scotland is not a region!!! ).
As it was a UK vote, the negotiations are being conducted by the EU and the UK Government. The idea of different treatment for different parts of the UK is nonsensical, as we'd have the prospect of Scotland and London, as well as various Parliamentary constituencies, demanding to stay in the EU.
The other thing that amazes me is that many intelligent people complain that the biggest problem about Brexit is uncertainty. The negotiations are still going on, so what else could they expect? The real problem is that the Brexit opponents in the UK Parliament could vote against any deal that is eventually agreed between the UK and the EU. Despite repeated warnings of the stupidity and economic disaster of a No Deal, that just might be the result of such a vote - the Remainers ensuring the exact result that they say they are campaigning against.
