It's more right (imo, of course) that they alone should have the right to vote given the magnitude of the event given that they are the ones that will be living with the consequences of the decision as opposed to a bunch of folks voting with no investment whatsoever in the result except personal beliefs and emotions.
imo the election was done as fairly as possible. It was of such a magnitude that it was only right that it was for the people of Scotland to decide, not Scottish people.
