Ach, weel. I was half right so a 50% success rate is better than nothing!

Actual results for the six UK MEP slots allocated to Scotland:

SNP: 3

Lib Dem: 1

Brexit: 1

Tories: 1

(Scottish) Labour loses it's MEPs altogether.

Viewed through the perspective of Brexit that's four pro-Remain MEPs vs two pro-Leave MEPs. Naturally Sturgeon has started up her usual rhetoric but, to play devils advocate, she does have something of a point.
