    Spain will definitely block scotlands attempt to rejoin. Everycunt in Europe knows this.

    Plus 40% of this country wanted out anyway.

    They're a single issue party. They will fracture into right and left. Torys and Labour over time.

    If independence happens we'd need to be in EU imo. We'd also greatly benefit from it.

    Simply because England turned their back on it.

    Financial sector would move almost entirely from London to Edinburgh and Paris

    We would retain the brightest and best of Europe who live in uk now.

    England and Wales would be literally surrounded by the single market.

    We would still be their closest trade partner but on unequal terms, not favouring them.

    It be some kind of karmatic girfuy imo

    What do you think?

    In our Presbyterian socialist Utopia there will be no right wing parties like Labour and Conservatives. There will be only nice parties like the Drugs are great party and the Peoples confederation for free pizza.

    I think the financial sector will have left London to Paris, Frankfurt and also possibly Amsterdam and Dublin long before Scotland will have the chance to vote on this ****ey second referendum.

    I'd guess not

    Breaking away to remain in Europe is different from breaking away to make Barcelona your national team

    I would vote yes if it was the best option for me financially. Simple as that

    I think the point that Trev is making that if Scotland can join so easily then the Catalans could join just as easily and Spain don't want that, so they would vote no to let Scotland in, which they have stated many times already.
