You seem to be anti-independence, but then pro-independence, depending on which thread you read.
Scotland has a lot more trade with the rest of the UK than it does with the EU. Why would it want to give up its largest trading partner?
The SNP only want to be EU members so they can continue to have a reason to exist, i.e. to then gain independence from the EU.
The SNP's stance in the last referendum was a lot more 'we want to have our cake and eat it' than Theresa May, and the business case was based on the price of oil which simply isn't there any more. I mean FFS, the SNP still wanted to keep the pound.
SNP for whatever their faults have done much more for those living in Scotland (I visit family frequently throughout from the highlands to the big smokes) than decades of Labour. Labour sold Scotland out time and time again, still people voted for them. That'll not happen again for decades I hope. Despite what the media would have you believe I'm always impressed when I return to see the local changes on a social level. It is how a small country should be acting.
I voted for independence because Scotland is a small country and should operate like a small country. I love small countries, have lived in a few over the years.
Most of the trade Scotland has with the rUK is through public services, which need culling to a level. I'm actually supporting a couple of manufacturing projects in Fife from my humble abode here in Bavaria."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

The idea that is Scotland resides with me strongly, shall never go away. Perhaps you think it will because I choose to live somewhere else
