[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 671629, member: 56232"] That is essentially correct, don't rely on the SNP to be consistent on anything. Ultimately it is about taking a larger chunk of the oil and sticking 2 fingers up at the English. Funny thing is, most people are saying Scotland won't get automatic membership to the EU and if they apply, only 1 nation needs to block them for their entry to fail. Now say Scotland decides they aren't going to take on the debt, the UK can turn around and say we will veto their membership on the basis of unresolved disputes with a member nation. If they do get into the EU, it will make their lack of representation in Westminster look like a joke. They could expect about 13 MEPs which would be 1.7% of the total. Compare that with their MPs where they get about 10% of the total. That's even with the EU habit of massively over-representing smaller nations. [/QUOTE]
