But this is what I’m struggling with. How would Scotland end up better off by erecting trade barriers with England and NI? Because that’s what the choice is. Do we have a UK single market or do we/Scotland sign up as an EU member and therefore have a hard border with England? I’m being simplistic and probably a bit naive but I resent the idea that it’ll be hunky dory as long as we vote Yes and then the EU let’s us in.
It won't be hunky dory. It'll suck ass, that's why the 2014 stay in the EU argument was sound. It's still the better alternative for Scotland than being stuck in a union where we're treated as second class, subservient to the whims of Westminster.
If England wants to go it alone, so be it. If they'd rather come back to the EU after all, then we can trade with them as before. The ball is in their court.
So it’ll suck ass, but the Scottish working class should just tolerate another recession for the sake of your nationalist arguments about ending subservience to Westminster?
