The EU is currently negotiating with Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro to join[0]. Is there something these countries have which an independent Scotland wouldn't?

All of Scotland's population could have voted for Labour in the last three elections and it wouldn't have been enough to take Labour over the line. As it turns out they didn't and appear to have moved on to a mixture of SNP, LD and CON. I would invite you to think about precisely why Scotland have abandoned the Labour party in recent years if you want some insight as to that state of affairs.
