    While true, there’s no way Scotland would get into the EU any time soon as an independent country. It would be a drawn out process and some member country would inevitably disagree for some reason or another.

      Even if not immediately, “slow” is still better than “never” , which is current plan being championed by England at the moment.

      This was a common part of the propaganda against independence at the time but for every article claiming Spain would block it, there was another article saying that Spain wouldn’t block it. I don’t think it makes much sense for Scotland to join the EU given the only country we have a land border with wouldn’t be in the EU, so border checks would be necessary which would be unpopular on both sides.
