1. If Scotland had voted for Independence in 2014, we would probably have been out of the EU by now and have to apply for membership.
2. The UK can still be out before the EU elections, if the Tories and Labour can agree on a positive way forward - no chance of that in my opinion. The EU are in just as big a mess over a No Deal as we are, as they're not ready for it either.
I feel sorry for the can, as it's going to get another 6 months of kicking.
1. If Scotland had voted for Independence in 2014 we would still be sat here watching politicians debate, argue and disagree about the terms of the divorce and its likely that we would be talking to the EU to help sort the terms of the divorce and they in turn would be negotiating with Spain to make sure they didn't veto Scotland's entry into the EU as an independent country!!!! Looking at how we have struggled to unwind our membership of the EU, can you imagine how difficult it will be to unwind a Union that has been around for centuries???
2. Those EU elections seem likely to produce some serious right wing shifts in who gets voted in. Nationalism is on the rise in the EU, if they think Brexit is bad enough, they had better get a handle on the shifting sand in the EU or they will walk into their next crisis very quickly!!
