Quote:If Scotland seek to gain independence and try to gain re entry into the EU, Spain will veto that application.
I think you are missing the point Lew. Scotland voted decisively to REMAIN in the EU. Clearly, the Scottish government must respect the result of the referendum, and as such will do everything within it’s powers to see that Scotland does indeed remain within the EU.
If there is not a BREXIT settlement that does not give Scotland access to the single market, and does not pass powers to Scotland that previously came under EU membership then there is a possibility of a second referendum on Independence.
Obviously it’s up to the UK government to respect and accommodate all members of the United Kingdom .
But the key point that you are missing is that currently Scotland is a member of the EU, SCOTS law, our economy etc etc are fully integrated into the EU.
Scotland will not seek to “gain re entry into the EU” as you put it, but rather to continue it’s membership.
