Rejoining the EU could take four or five years for an independent Scotland if procedures were carried out at the fastest pace, a report has said. Maybe even a decade or longer and you’d have to adopt the euro to join as all new members do..
Who know’s if scotland as an independant nation would meet the requirements, plus then you would have to show you can meet the criteria as a new independant nation before applying to join the eu.. To show them you meet the criteria they setout for joining.. Just like other countries have had to do to join the eu..now and in the past.. AS we know it takes the Eu a longtime to do very little.
What i don’t get is why would you leave the uk to sign up to to brussels and one only has to look at the eu vaccine mess to see why you better out of the eu political union than in it.. plus Scotland’s implicit budget deficit could be around 26-28% of GDP in 2020-21, plus then there’s the eu packages they put in place for covid for the current 27, so i don’t think they gonna be in a position for more countries to join that could be a drain on the block. what if then the eu says no you cannot join and you left the uk. who about to join other free trade deals and area’s around the globe.
The question is what if you do have indyref2 and the vote is to remain part of the uk, all things now being considered. Have A 3rd vote and a 4th/5th until it happens.
Once in a generation we was told. oh brexit happened so we should have another vote to leave, everytime a vote goes against what we want/ what we don’t like.. lets have another vote.. Great model of democracy that. The EU Model, not that i believe in it at all anyways.. we all controlled by someone or something and there could well be a hard border.
Will scotlland be able to stand on it’s own two feet without being part of the uk, free this and that will be out the window plus all that oil and gas will be no use at all.. from falling revenues. but hey ho over a cliff you go… seems as if it did not happen when we left the eu did it… covid did that to us all..
