We were in Scotland recently. On a tour our bus driver went into a long rant about Brexit. He said the Scots are NOT in favor of it & they will very likely push for another vote to become an independent state & this time it will be successful. We didn’t bother to argue with him, but good luck to Scotland if the do exit the UK. You don’t need a another layer of gov’t to have free trade laws.
The Scots already have another layer - Westminster.
They are far less independent as part of the British union compared to Ireland which is part of the european union.
