Maybe they can use the North Sea oil as payment that we've pilfered over the years.
Anyway Scotland voted to Remain, England voted to Leave, so England should pay the EU bill.
Nicola should really use me as a negotiator

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
England was propping up Scotland long before the oil was discovered. Even with their share included in the GERS accounts, their annual deficit is still huge.

Very.
The difference is that the UK can afford the hit. Scotland alone however is far less able to do so and would be disconnecting itself from a far more deeply integrated and valuable internal market. While the arguments around Brexit and Scexit are superficially similar in some ways, that’s all it is. The consequences for Scotland of failing to grasp that would be profound.

No problem then, don't vote for the SNP.
However if the Scots keep voting them in on a platform of another vote, then that's democracy.

The problem is that (until the Alba Party appeared) the separatist vote really had nowhere to go except to the SNP. It’s a minority, but it’s the biggest minority. Politics-as-usual is possible through three mainstream parties, one of the left, one centrist and left-leaning, and one centre right (though notably less right than its English branch). The unionist vote is therefore neatly split, and the only party that can plausibly run a minority administration is the SNP. There are doubtless a few dingbats who believe in the union then overcompensate by voting for the party that’s appropriated all the saltires, but the SNP vote is essentially the separatist vote.

IF Krankie was to get her wish, then the UK should adopt a new flag, first remove the Scottish blue, the help keep the Welsh happy by putting the Dragon on our flag.

As part of the UK, Scotland should pay it’s share.

If the Scots really don’t want Indy2, they should jolly well stop supporting the SNP!

I wish that Hugh would resist the temptation to snipe in the way that he does.
OB has made serious points. The SNP is a governance disaster; their balance sheets is not sustainable on its own; their education system is a failure. They have never set out their economic plan for independence - which is quite dishonest.
On those grounds, intelligent Scots should not support the SNP.
