We know that them leaving would only happen once the EU exit process is started, so I think that their ideal situation is to leave the UK the instant that Article 50 is invoked, with the EU accepting both Scotland and the remainder of the UK as successor states, with Scotland not in the process of exiting. I do wonder, though, whether they'll get their referendum before the exit process is started.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266267115878176577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-62717089754170537942016-06-30T11:36:51.560+01:002016-06-30T11:36:51.560+01:00The reunification of Germany is perhaps relevant. ...The reunification of Germany is perhaps relevant.
