Once that happens, we will be happy to let whatever is left of the UK back in, under the same conditions every other member is under, of course.

>scotland calls new referendum, leaves and rejoins EU by 2020
1.6 million Scots voted to stay in the EU. 2 million Scots voted to stay in the UK Which of these numbers is greater?

Why would they stay in the UK if it takes them out of the EU?

m8 the EU just told jimmie crankie to get fucked. Its economy is destroyed now anyway with oil at 48pb the lose money on every drop, they need 150pb to join the EU and that is not happening. As it stands Scotland without UK is an even bigger debtnigger than Ireland, and that is saying something.

none of that is going to happen
unlike the uk staying in the eu

How is the Leave vote even a mandate for another referendum. The Scots voted to be represented as the UK by voting to remain in it, not as Scotland. Thus, they literally voted for this.
Xavier Parker
The maastricht treaty says every country must agree to let a new member join, but this can easily be changed if 70% of countries agree it should be changed, thereby removing the butthurt veto.
I dont see how Scotland would have an problem as an independent nation when Ireland did so well. Since leaving the uk, Ireland is:
1. Richer than the UK per capita 2. Has a higher HDI than the UK 3. Has higher average wages than the UK 4. Has a higher quality of life than the UK 5. Ireland is the fastest growing economy in the EU and also the richest country in the EU in terms of GDP per capita
And all that was after being colonised for 800 years, with education banned and absolutely no natural resources since they had already been stolen. How is Scotland going to have a problem?

Then they'll come crawling back. Just like they always have.
All their member base will start to realize that not everything is suddenly free.

This will be the first step in a long trend of Balkanization in Western-Europe.

Northern Ireland has a growing Catholic majority and voted 65% in favour of staying in the EU, how can you think everything will stay the same? Why would they want to be part of a dying country?

We'll just dissolve the Scottish Parliament, then they can't leave.

Take your completely unrelated slippery slope bullshit somewhere else Poland
Spain and France already said they will cockblock Scotland
Alexander Murphy
Yea except that's not what they do, let me explain to you how I know that
>over 50% voted leave
That must have been all of the British flag makers
To me the Irish have a problem they will have to face sooner or later:
Do they eat the potato Or turn it into whiskey?
Robert Roberts
>RULES CAN NEVER BE CHANGED
Jaxson Powell
Say they manage to call the referendum by next year and vote to leave, the negotiations on sharing out UK assets like military equipment, embassies etc will be drawn out for years as each side try's to fuck over the other, and unlike Article 50 there's no time limit on this, even if they vote to go it could be up to a decade, and both of us will have been out of Europe for a long time by that point.
They have no choice about getting dragged out with us, and down the line if the EU do let them join, the Eurozone and Schengen membership without any of the perks the UK wangled over the last 40 years will be unavoidable.

This says nothing about an independent Scotland, that deficit is probably caused through propping up Northern Ireland which runs at a -50% deficit every year.
Luke Johnson
Because lying through data is what made greece collapse, for Ireland has a lower median income (aka, more people are making less money than in the UK, and it's close to 24% less), higher debts, higher deficits, only has a higher development index because of all the shitskin crime (remove the crimes in the UK and it's HDI is higher than the USA, a similar situation with every country in the top ten below ireland), it's exports are highly dependent on the UK, and in general it's actual economy (people buying and selling stuff, rather than multinationals hiding tax money in it) is weaker by any metric to the UK.
Your sort of analysis is exactly why the Eurozones keeps jumping from almost collapse to almost collapse.
