I’ve read and heard so much “serious” commentary over the last few days that outright calls for ignoring the results of the vote and tossing democracy out the window in the UK. Thus just proves the people were right.
I also heard on the radio, CBS News I think, that Scotland was “fiercely independent” and would break from the Brexiting UK to remain subjects of Brussels. This was delivered straight with no note of irony. I lolled.
That cannot happen as Scotland is part of the UK and therefore will not be able to remain on its own.
It would have to get independence and then apply to join as a separate country, that could take years, especially if they take their portion of the national debt with them, then their sovereign debt would not allow them to use the Euro.
There are a lot of stumbling blocks in the way for Scotland to break loose and then have the Brussels be their master.
