I don’t think the UK should leave the EU and I’ll be voting against it. However, and I apologise if this is evil, I’m almost of the mind that if it does go through and the UK leaves, this might make it more likely for Scotland to finally devolve (and then rejoin the EU on its own afterwards).
The obvious problem with this is planning for the majority of the Scottish public to actually attribute any negativity whatsoever to English policy and as a consequence stay in the UK regardless of what happens. And that’s if the UK votes to leave.
6Bn for EU membership? Someone I know breathlessly pointed out about a month or two ago that Scottish independence “would have cost us 5bn by now!” a year after we could have devolved.
5bn for a whole country! That’s a fucking bargain you neep!
