I don't know it Khandro, and in fact I think there is a very strong comparison. Indeed that was most of the reason I wanted to remain in the EU in the first place; many of the arguments for keeping the UK together could just as easily be scaled up to apply to the UK's membership of the EU.
MM, I voted in 2014 too (and "no" at that). I don't want to keep the same discussion going in two separate threads, but suffice it to say that I'm not so dogmatic about voting "no" to independence at the moment. I can't be the only person who's open to reconsidering in the wake of Thursday's result.
jim; //There's a certain delicious irony in people who have spent the last few months moaning about how important it is to them to have control over their country now busy telling Scottish people that they have no right to that same control.//
Scotland, and it's part within the UK, is in no way like the relationship between the UK and the rest of Europe, let alone the European Union, neither historically, geographically nor financially.
