In case the Scots vote for separation, the EU would suck them in, yes. It always does, it even wants to suck in states that it cannot digest. All European land must be theirs. So the Scottish calculation that the EU would accept them, can be understood.

I have no opinion on it, just saying that any people and region always has just any right there can be to decide whether they want to unite or split from some superregional entity like a state. But who does so should make sure that he can afford to stay for himself, also, he has no right to demand others to bail him out on his deficits. He can beg for help, and when refused, he has to liver with it.

Problem over the Euro is that EUrocratics always give an impression as if the EU not only wants everybody in, but would even have an obligation to just welcome everybody.

As long as the Scots do not change their political system fundamentally and replace their politcial personnel and send the whole political establishment to hell, I see little importance on the issue of whether they formally split from the Brits or stay with them. The storm that is gathering above Western states will catch them this Pound-way or that Euro-way anyway.
