ha!
i am too far away to understand the Scottish thing...
they’d be far far better off OUT of EU but...as you say.
my thought is that they’d be foolish
if they want to stay under the Fourth Reich’s thumb ...
They see themselves, with reason, to be under Westminster’s thumb and want out. They are a constituent nation in the union that is the United kingdom.
They look at their very little say in Westminster and contrast it with The Republic of Ireland which is an independent nation in the confederation of the eu. Ireland has it better, as does Estonia, Latvia, etc all tiny nations that aren’t dominated by large neighbour’s due to being part of the confederation
