That's simply because UK Tories decided their euroskepticism prevented them from joining their natural allies in the EPP.

It's like Northen Irish people voting Sinn Fein were complaining that they don't actually sit in Westminster.

so what you're saying is that the Scots shouldn't be upset that the Tories have 100% of the power as the SNP haven't joined the Conservative party?

the situation is identical

They have the right to be upset. The losers in any political system have the right to be upset. But they lost fair and square in a democratic system, and do not have the right to slander that system and its institutions.

Yes, absolutely, it's the same situation. Your argument is now that Scotland should break away from the UK.

Congratulations, you will see the United Kingdom disappear in your lifetime.
