It would, especially for Scotland. It would effectively be a carbon copy of Ireland but with the addition of gas and oil resources. Ireland survives and is thriving with its similar geography, population density and other factors purely due to the huge amount of EU funding it aquires. Scotland could and would survive.

Everyone is too close under the bravado, we all have friends and family living in all 3 areas which is why in referenda and opinion polls in both Scotland and Wales show an majority in favour of a United Kingdom.

... a decreasing majority each time and the nationslists just won a majority government in Scotland. That alone shows the trend. |
and on reflection many of those new voters for the SNP did NOT support independence but rather a change from the mianstream. the EU DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT support the breaking up of its member states into regions. in fact it staunchly opposes such moves. So don't think you can (in your words) go leeching off the EU once you have finished leeching from England. Your arguments are so basic and flawed and rely so much on your own personal opinion and assumptions based on hear say of about 10 Welsh Nationalists, there isn't much point in saying anything.
