You're not helping the Scottish cause with junk info like this. (I'm French and pro-independence) "EU is a business", "north pays for south", "zero chance that the EU..." - all parts of a thought process that'd lead you to disaster . The EU is a complex, unique international organization designed to bring peace through unprecedented one-of-a-kind economic development. I get from Brussels insiders that a best-case scenario is an independent Scotland joining the eurozone, while rUK votes to stay in the EU with a "ad hoc" status. Now most member states have very different feelings about this. This forces the EU Commission to keep a low profile and stick to conservative answers on any independence question. You have to realize that there _is_ a risk that some member states can block a fast track accession to EU for iScotland. For instance iScotland could have to go through a 3-5 years roadmap and audit until the standard 12 points for accession are cleared (vs a best case, unprecedented 12-months fast track to the EU). As I see it, this is the biggest risk for iScotland. Even with EU Parliament on your side, member states have influence and power that could slow down the process, and expose the new country to a tough start. I hope the Yes wins, but I hope the win doesn't get ruined with unrealistic expectations.
