Cable Forum - Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I hope and pray Scotland never becomes independent , We cannot go it alone, The S N P cannot run the country without Westminster , We all need each other,

Agree we"re better together but the same thing applied to the EU really.

Its a bit hypocritical of some that wanted us to leave the EU, to say Scotland can't leave the UK if they want.

Its up to you and no one else ;)

Isn't hypocritical of the EU to want to shackle itself to the EU under the pretext of gaining "independence"?

The truth of the SNP is that they want to sit at someone's top table, the UK not being an available top table. It's all about power and raising the Scottish people to rally to a psychologically wearing call.

You'll be in the EU in two shakes of a lamb's tail. It worked out ok for Ireland didn't it?

They weren't part of the UK, and I think that I read somewhere that, it was Spain that would try and block it if Scotland tried to go it alone?

Yes because it could trigger Catalonia to seek independence.

They were part of the UK. Until Irish independence, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Spain has advised it wouldn't block Scotland's entry to the EU.

What I was meaning was that they were not part of the UK when the EU was formed.

Yes to the first point, no to the second.

But why is this relevant?

Perhaps Paul was inferring that Spain would indeed block Scotland application to join the EU, even after saying they wouldn’t. Should circumstances actually get to that point.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

It seems to me that the EU cannot afford both Scotland and Catalonia; not even Scotland on its own.

I've provided a link quoting a diplomat not a politician. So yes, politicians do lie but that's irrelevant here.

Who is speaking on behalf of the Spamish Government, who are politicians.

Spain will not block Scotland’s entry into the European Union if independence is legally achieved, and such has always been the intention of the Spanish government
