Sorry.They've got a few less crackpots than us :PHey, I like being a crackpot XD One thought does come to mind on the matter, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a seperation from the rest of the UK, only to accept Dominion from the EU doesn't seem to my mind representative of Independence. It's basically swapping from one master to another- and a considerably worse one at that. Whatsmore, if Scotland does end up becoming a full-blown member of the EU with its miserable single currency, how long would it be until the other British nations (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) are forced to follow suit? I might not be the brightest one on the matter, but common sense makes me think- stick with Britain and the Pound. The further all four of us remain away from Europe, the better- just look what happened to Ireland.While perhaps true, several Eurozone countries have also benefitted while under it as their currency. Also, the fact is that the EU is overall the strongest economic power in the world; in addition Scotland may follow the political direction of several of the more successful EU countries and be able to follow it through due to the sheer amount of skilled workers who head to England and Scotland at the moment. In addition it might mean they don't need to have their heads up the US's ass constantly like we have for a very long time. (Plus Ireland has a greater GDP that us, which may be an obvious advantage of being in the eurozone, which makes sense considering the successes of Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Netherlands, ect.) Also, Scotland has a monstrous potential for capitalizing on renewable energy which it has the perfect enviroment for. Lastly, Scotland is the largest exporter of petrol.Simply put, they have good potential to survive on their own rather than feeding their cash to us, and if they do join the eurozone the potential for exports will just increase.Yes...on a side note, and this probably irrelevant, but if it does go ahead, then hopefully they'll at least keep the Pound (Scottish or otherwise) as currency rather than the Euro, still use the white stripe on the Union Jack, and keep good trade and relations with the rest of the UK rather than completely isolating themselves.England's still a member of the EU, so relations would probably still be kept fairly nice, but I see no reason for them to promote patriotism (which is bad enough in any country if you ask me; then again, I'm one cynical bastard anyway ) of something they no long belong to.Fact is there is no reason for Scotland to have to be under our thumb constantly. If I were Scottish I'd see no reason to hold respect for a nation which tried and succeeded at capturing it. In effect having the union jack as its flag will promote or at least respect the ridiculous imperialist attitude the English had for a very long time; the fact that we have a bunch of countries in the commonwealth and the fact that we hold ridiculous amounts of offland territory such as the Falklands and Bermuda only furthers that.That slipped into rant mode, plus my views got pretty damn harsh there, but it's my two cents.
