Nope ... not with you.
If you are right then please tell me the entry criteria for EU ascension and how Scotland would qualify for it ?

Re: Breakup of the UK
I'd rather Scotland remains in the Union, and I believe the majority of Scots want the same.It's only the vociferous SNP and its followers who keep on bleating about independence.
Still, if the majority of Scots really want to leave the UK and then try to join the EU (if it is still functioning), that's their choice. It's called democracy.
It would certainly save the rest of the UK some money.
The same applies to NI. If the majority want to leave the UK, so they should.
A united Ireland would keep certain factions in the US happy, and we'd enjoy a productive trading alliance with them without the constant bleating of those with an Irish background.
Wales? I don't know. Do the majority of the Welsh want to leave the UK and go it alone? I don't think so. We don't hear much from the Welsh nationalists and, as far as I know, Plaid Cymru has only one MP.
Yes, I think that all-in-all England alone would not only survive, but flourish. We would also have the opportunity to pull together for the common benefit, although there is still a great deal of disunity in the country as witnessed by the political scene. Right is Right and Left is Left, and never the twain shall meet, to misquote a well-known saying.
