Their whole thing was that Scottish independence was a good thing, but it wouldn't be possible (or even a good idea) because Scotland wouldn't be able to support their economy on their own. Does that response hold water?

As a disclaimer we are U.S. citizens, and I definitely don't know much about Scotland, so feel free to dump whatever information on me that you want

    A Scottish independence would be followed by joining the European union getting better trade deals than the UK currently got.

    Besides if Israel is able to 'support' themselves Scotland is, too.

    Finally I agree with the people saying no country in the imperial core is supporting itself.

      That's not independence at all. I think whoever came up with that "join the EU" idea doesn't understand what independence is.

      There's a good argument to be made that the EU wouldn't let Scotland in because it would embolden other potential breakaway states like Catalonia.

      But they also might do it out of spite towards the UK, so who knows?
