Salmond was irritating enough, Sturgeon is just a complete and utter c*nt. Edited by We are goin up! (11 Nov 2016 1.29pm) Calm down a moment. The EU referendum result is binding on Scotland but it is up to Scotland to decide whether it is more important to them to remain in the UK or the EU. Now that "really isn't that difficult"

Originally posted by Sedlescombe With the UK leaving I don't think they will have the slightest difficulty in joining, although the situation would have been different as long as the UK was still a member. The EU will be falling over themselves to accommodate the Scots. Whilst they may want to, it's not that easy, the criteria is quite strict and very time consuming There are five recognised candidates for future membership of the European Union: Turkey (applied in 1987), Macedonia (applied in 2004), Montenegro (applied in 200, Albania (applied in 2009) and Serbia (applied in 2009). All except Albania and Macedonia have started accession negotiations. the dignified don't even enter in the game

It was up to the UK to decide whether it was best in or out of the EU. It decided out. The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

The EU will be falling over themselves to accommodate the Scots. The last thing the EU want is: A) members, or former members, to split into regions and B) new members that are going to require money from the EU rather than be able to contribute to it. They were told this when they assumed their EU membership would carry on had they voted to leave the UK. It wouldn't have. Optimistic as ever

For some it might be an Up Yours to rUK and secondly you need to remember they are already in the EU and comparisons with Albania and Turkey are just absurd. Serbia had membership withheld because they were harbouring mass murderers. As much as people on this Forum seem to have trouble with strong women I don't think anyone is suggesting Sturgeon is a war criminal

Originally posted by Part Time James Exactly. I'm no expert so someone is bound to shoot me down in flames, but the three paths for Nichola Sturgeon are surely: 1) Have a second independence referendum for Scotland and if they vote out then they'll have to find their feet again and I believe re-apply to join the EU. 2) Have a second in independence referendum for Scotland and if they vote in they'll have to play ball with the rest of the EU. 3) Try to do everything they can to block Brexit. I can see why her preference is for option 3 as I don't see the first two working well for her. Exactly. The sum amount of what they can do is stamp their feet and say it's not fair.

Why would the EU stop them?

Why would the EU stop them? As Stuk said, they might want to assess what Scotland can put into the EU in isolation if it was no longer part of the UK. If they derive that Scotland can put in as much (or more) than it takes from the EU, then sure. I have my doubts, but they are based on gut instinct. I'm no economist obviously.
