How is that? I was under the impression that
formally Londons permission for another referendum is needed (from an idealistic POV I say it is not, but that is not the point here), and if it succeeds and the EU embracing Scotland and wills to accept that it will be a net receiver, not as net contributor, what then is there in no-deal Brexit that makes Scotish "independence" more difficult and unlikely? Even more so since the EU probably would embrace Scotland, if for no other reason than to piss London?
Of cours you are never independent if you need someobdy else to pay your bills. And I am strictly against accepting any more states into the EU who are not net contributors, but net-takers. EUcrats of course see this different, sicne they know it is the tax payers shouldering the bill, not the EUcrats themselves.
