Disagree with your final point.
The last thing the EU wants is disruption - ever. They want clear, stable operations backed by huge bureaucracy.
They'll be glad Brexit is over so they can just get on with BAU. The ordeal of an independent Scotland forming and applying to join would be a huge disruption.
- Someone 6y agoThe EU may be a bureaucracy, but it isn’t a huge one. Its budget is too small for that. https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/eu-budget/transparency/fact-check_en#howbigistheeubudget https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/eu-budget/transparency/fa...: “At some €148 billion (2019 figure), the EU budget is in fact smaller than the budgets of Austria or Belgium. This was a tiny fraction (2%) of the combined national budgets of all EU countries (€7,524 billion) in 2019.”
- breakfastduck 6y agoThe EU bureaucracy is at a higher level, like the Euro Working Group made up of financial ministers from EU countries. There is a LOT of red tape involved in getting stuff done.
