This may result in Britain not staying together anyway. The fact that an independent Scotland may not be able to join the EU seems to be conveniently ignored by the SNP. The one thing that might influence me in June, and I am slightly on the fence at present, is the prospect of breaking up the UK which would be a complete disaster.
What we need is a reformed EU, more like the old Common Market, with no interference in each member's laws and less expensive bureaucracy.
I don't think the SNP have a confused attitude ove the EU. They want Scotland to be a sovereign state and to a member of the EU. Pure and simple. Much the same as people want the UK to be the same.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
