EU's chief negotiator agrees that independent Scotland would gain automatic entry

Cut it free, relocate the onshored jobs down to the M62 corridor and build a proper border control. The only difference we'd notice is that we have a non-league football team called Berwick Rangers.

The only difference we'd notice is that then we would have lots of expat scots complaining how England abandoned them and stole all their treasures.

not just stole our treasures but inflicted us with governments we did not elect.

Comical. What happens if you got an Indy Scotland and then the Scottish Conservatives were elected? You do realise that you wouldn't be able to just stick with the SNP?

The SNP are more conservative than the conservatives would like. Din't you know?

Land reform be one example.
Increase stamp duty taxes.

They're doing the Tories out of a job.

The situation after Brexit is not the same. Spain will see that. Different set of circumstances altogether even you must recognise that. You can't force a country out of the EU against it's will, simply outrageous.

There seem to be differing views (strangely enough).

It's not me you have to convince though. If that's what Scotland voted for then that's what they should have. Some of us still believe in following the will of the majority.

Wasn't what I asked. The Conservatives are party of low taxes (in theory).

Does Sturgeon still think Scotland would use the GBP after Scottish independence with Scotland in the EU? Or is she happy with adopting the Euro?

It's Bitcoin - see earlier in this thread.

What amuses me is how similar some of your arguments are to mine on leaving the EU.

At least you got some sort of vote on who the government would be.
