The EU would love Scotland to continue the UK's membership. The EU would be thinking about Scotland paying the UK's current net contributions. £8.6bn in 2016.
I imagine Sturgeon probably has something different in mind, probably thinking more along the lines of being a net recipient of EU money rather like 20 of the existing EU27.
Hence why Scotland's accession to the EU could never be 'automatic'.
But still, no pro-Independence Scot can explain how being in the EU is 'independence' in any way, shape or form.
