Scotland wants to leave the UK on 13:40 - Jun 24 by Lord_Bony | It would be hard to take. The EU would welcome them with open arms just to make an example of us. In fact Brussels will be actively encouraging them to break away knowing that lot. A lot of countries will be looking to see if we can make a success away from the EU before they follow suit. |
I'm not sure whether Spain would be too keen on approving Scotland's application to remain a member. They have Catalonia to worry about. | |

Scotland wants to leave the UK on 13:23 - Jun 24 by Flashberryjack | Scotland voting not to leave the EU isn't voting for splitting from the UK. Sturgeon has jumped on that as an opportunity to hold another referendum on an issue that should, and has been already been resolved at the ballot box. |
The Scottish referendum was prior to the last general election. As a result of the backtracking by Cameron over the pledge, the Snp manifesto contained a,commitment to a further referendum in the event of material change within the UK.. The Scots knew this at the last general election, and overwhelming voted snp. | |

Assumably they will have to apply to join just like any other country. There are processes and rules to follow. I imagine they'd already be further down the line than turkey in terms of requirements but it would still be quite a few years to join, that's if the EU would actually want them. | |

I imagine it can be shown that Scotland can already satisfy the criteria to be eligible to apply to join (if it didn't that would mean that the UK didn't and we've been members for the last 41 years.). | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Oil is traded in US dollars nothing to do with sterling. Oil also went down 4.73% today. And the Bank of England said last time that if Scotland left they would not be allowed to use sterling.And why would they want to,if they want away why would they want our currency? Or do they only want out of certain parts? [Post edited 24 Jun 2016 17:47]

Just because the UK meets the criteria why do you assume a independent Scotland would? They would have a total different economic structure. | |

I'll keep.It simple. Let's say the price of a barrel of oil is $2. If £1 = $2, i sell you a barrel of oil you pay me $2, I convert that $2 into £1. If the pound falls so that £1=$1, and the price of a barrel of oil has fallen to $1. I sell you a barrel of oil, you pay me $1, I convert that $1 into £1. If Scotland want to use sterling nobody can stop them. | |

As for your little equation it does not add up,the bottom line is oil has halved in price and a relatively tiny drop in sterling is not going to change that or it's value. | |

They don't have any reason to do us any favours but they're not our mortal enemy. You really, really do need to get out of the habit of blaming the EU for everything. If things go tits up the nation will know exsctly who to blame and it won't be the EU. | |

But they don't have to join the EU as they're already in it. All they have to do is not leave it when England does. Shouldn't the Vote Leavers have discussed this before thr vote? | |

I'm not a politician so I couldn't possibly come up with any answer! I have replied to you on another thread, I do hope you read the way it was written as I would never be joyous on seeing someone lose their job after working hard. No one should be "celebrating" today as if they've won a cup final......the real hard graft starts now. | | | |

I'm not trying to imply it will be the EUs fault, just raising the point that its is not really in their interest do do us any favours, and probably not in ours to do any for them now. If whatever reminants of the UK crash and burn they the EU gets to point at it and say "Look what happens when you leave". If we do well, other countries will want to leave. They're hardly going to give us some fabulous deal. If we can trade with any country in the EU then so can the EU trade with any other country. If we won't but their goods, someone else will. Long term economically Britain will be fine, of course it will. What upsets me about this is isolating ourselves from our neighbours. I know we're not sailing Britain of to the Caribbean or anything but we've just given our closest neighbours a big f u. | |
