La maggior parte degli europei supporterebbe la Scozia indipendente che si unisce all’UE, i sondaggi

>In Italy, 64% favour Scotland being allowed to join, with 11% against, broadly similar to **Spain** – where 65% said they would support an independent Scotland in the EU while 13% are opposed to this.

For some reason though, every Spanish politician that has ever existed always falls under the 13% camp, not the 65%. I wonder why!!!

Interesting survey.
Only I did not understand why they were asked the British , and not only the Scots.

 And as I understand it , the UK government in the near future against a referendum on Scottish independence.

 Well, I would like to know from the Scots themselves , what the results of the survey on independence in Scotland itself.

As a Scot, like the majority of Scottish voters who voted against Brexit, feeling awful pessimistic about this.

Westminster always held a veto over Scottish Independence, and are unlikely to grant another in the short to long term.

It’s sad to be shackled to the Reform fuelled politics of England but what can we do?

Are we still doing this shit?

Scotland leaving the UK would destroy Scotland it’s that simple.

Seeing any part of the current UK back in the EU would be nice.

UK as a whole being here would be awesome.

Why wouldn’t they support it? It would be a very rich country. Although I think that partitioning the UK would be wrong.

For a moment I thugh we were back in 2014.

For now it’s a political fiction: of course Scotland is close to the EU and viceversa, but creating tensions with it’s biggest neighbor and trade partner over some discontent is not worth it. Unless England does something really stupid that will make Scotland seriously reconsider the union, this article it’s just sensationalism

Of course.

The English have a fantasy that Spain or the Netherlands would block Scotland from joining. No, they wouldn’t.

(But Hungary or Slovakia might, depending on if Putin is more interested in weakening the UK by splitting off Scotland than he is in splintering the EU.)

Of course The EU could fund a totally poor country when independent.

Although I’d doubt Scottish independence is on the cards for a while now, for myriad reasons, but the oppressiveneds and backwards attitudes of English people, but also for defence and the government has invested a considerable amount of money into electricity in Scotland due to lacking space in England

Oh christ. Again. As an Englishman, I’m all for their independence. But this view ignores reality. Scotland leaving the UK wouldn’t just be difficult but it would be devastating to them.

They run one of the highest deficits in Europe and funded massively by English taxpayers. The Barnett formula props up their public services. There’s no currency plan, no central bank and oil revenues is shaky to say the least. Then they’d be border complicationd. Independence means losing that financial support and subsidies overnight. The result would be brutal cuts, economic instability, market instability, capital flight and long term damage to jobs, services and investment. And a potential public service collapse unless taxes skyrocket.

And the narrative that Scotland was a victim of the British Empire doesn’t stick. Scots played a major role in building and running that empire. They weren’t subjects, they were architects of it, partners. Scottish generals, governors, and.. slave traders, oh yes. Deeply involved.

If Scotland wants to go its own way, that’s their right 100%, I think all 4 nations in the UK should be independent. But it’ll be a leap into a financial crisis without a single doubt.
