I had to google a map of the EU before I believed it. It seems like we've been waiting on this 20 or 30 years.
Fucking Farrage is an absolute madman and look what he did. It's not often one man achieves so much.
Goodbye you fucks.

This now moves to the USA, with states seceeding.
Texas will be first first, followed by California (though they get kicked out).

They need the EU as much if not more than any other region of the UK and will suffer for it. I was hoping to travel there and use the EU pass to slide through Europe but alas Britain decided to cut their nose off to spite their face because autismThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Not really. Scotland gains little from EU membership compared to membership in the UK. Most of the pro-EU inertia there is a reaction to Brexit, which is anti-immigration, chauvinistically English, and implicitly right-of-centre.I was hoping to travel there and use the EU pass to slide through Europe but alas Britain decided to cut their nose off to spite their face because autism
Well that wouldn't have worked anyway, neither the UK nor Ireland were/are in the Schengen area, and if you landed in the UK you'd need a visa to go either to Ireland or to the Schengen area. -

scotland needs a customs union so they don't pay a premium on goods that are logically hard to move to areas like the shetlands/highlands etc. They need some kind of central controls so goods aren't exorbitant and in turn, as they try to diversify their economy from oil they need an open market to sell them on. They also aren't as xenphobic as brits and have put immigrants to work as of late, needing population to grow and espouse the scottish identity. The whole refereendum (although poorly constructed) relied on the EU being the market they brought goods to.
And dang, oh well, would still like to visit someday -
2020-02-02 at 8:23 PM UTCThe EU is a drain on it's productive member countries, unfortunately. I say the continent just jettisons every nation that can't pay their own bills. If we have a block of rich countries, i don't even mind having to spend more on the military, because we could. Also, i want Holland to have as much power in EU Parliament as say Germany. I'm sure Germany wouldn't mind, they are our biggest trade partner after all. But that's never going to happen.
We'll see, we haven't lost the capacity to make free trade agreements of our own accord. We could bypass the EU. there's nothing stopping us. Plus we are already the biggest of the smol countries and we have our super special trade compact with the BeNeLux countries.
I wish the UK the best, i already said that in the other thread but it bears repeating. -

How does that benefit them tho?They need some kind of central controls so goods aren't exorbitant and in turn, as they try to diversify their economy from oil they need an open market to sell them on.
The most valuable commodity a country like Scotland has is smart white people to work in intellectually heavy industries like software.They also aren't as xenphobic as brits and have put immigrants to work as of late, needing population to grow and espouse the scottish identity.
They haven't had as much experience with immigrants as the English. Xenophobia will come to them yet.
Also all demographics and sectors of the UK electorate oppose further immigration, even the browns. It has gotten beyond a joke. Immigration is an excuse to import healthy single 20 year old males, and enmiserate everyone else - children, women, retirees, families, the sick, etc. Immigration is the ultimate capitalist ruling class cause celebre.
