Re: What if Scotland got their independence?

If Scotland gained independence they would have to re-apply to be a member of the EU as a stand alone country.
I'm not sure that they would be allowed to join if certain criteria is not present. They would certainly have to be part of the Eurozone, as would we if we don't manage to exit.

Happy to wait a few million years then, just as well as that's how long as it will take.

Compulsory membership of the Eurozone would ensure complete control of their country by the dictators in Brussels.
