A response to that tweet made a good point though - in the end it’s not about which union looks more attractive to Scotland, but how exploitable each union is. The relative sizes of the EU and UK single markets are often trotted out by nats as proof that Scotland should leave the uk and join the EU. The problem for them is that having been members of both, Scotland’s ability to leverage its access to the UK has been vastly greater than its ability vis a vis the EU.
