Scotland gets subsidies from the EU, which they want to continue.
However, the EU is not interested in Scotland joining minus the UK, as that would make Scotland a net drain on EU finances. Scotland was supposed to make sure that UK stayed in EU (and paying EU dues) and they failed.
If an independent Scotland joins the EU minus the rest of the UK, those subsidies won’t last long! The EU might even tell Scotland not to expect them even before they join!
Scotland should rediscover its old “canny Scots” entrepreneurial genius, as with Andrew Carnegie and Donald J Trump!!!!
