[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 672305, member: 22777"] I'm aware of the Spanish situation. But just because Scotland goes independant doesn't mean they're in any way bound to do anything with the Basques and Catalans. Also, that's not really how the EU works. All 28 member states would have to vote unanimously to exclue Scotland from the EU as they're already part of a member state. However, all countries must also unanimously agree to adopt an amendment for Scottish representation within the European parliament and other institutions. While that could leave Scotland in limbo for a bit, Spain nor any other nation can veto Scotland's membership in the EU by themselves. Personally I think t's a pretty cheap scare tactic that the no side has been happy to put out. While it's not surprising that the no campaign has been conducted in a very negative manner (no=negative after all) I think they've done themselves a disservice. By treating the Scottish nationalists like petulant children I think they've only served to further alienate larger portions of the Scottish community. [/QUOTE]
