>>Rather, they are voting for rule by Brussels. As Mr Cameron has brutally discovered, no EU member is truly independent...<<
he has a point, but who says an independent Scotland will join the EU?
FWIW, I think Scotland wants to join the EU. I don’t get it. The EU might be the most despicable “democratic” government on the planet.
The ringleader of the separatist effort counts on being the head of the country; and all politics is always and only about power. Oh, and all politicians are scumbags.

First, there’s no guarantee an independent Scotland would be allowed in to the European Union without adopting a number policies, not least of which is converting its currency to the Euro.
Second, they must receive unananomous approval from the current members, any number of whom are harboring nascent separatist movements within their own borders.
I’d say the odds of Scotland being rejected for EU membership are substantial, whether they want to join or not.
The SNP WANT to join the EU. Course, the EU may not let them in (there are certain criteria for membership) in which case if they do go independent they will be out on a limb, with no currency and no safety net.
