and you're telling me, that it can't have its voice heard in the EU, because it's not powerful enough?....
LOL... Well - which is it?
Saw much the same from the unionists in the Scottish referendum debate. The argument would be that an independent Scotland wouldn't gain entry into the EU but also simultaneously that they shouldn't care about being independent because we're all now part of the EU.
These same unionists are now arguing about remaining or leaving the EU. The Remain camp warn that leaving could break up the UK as Scotland would have another referendum and vote to stay in the EU. The Leave camp ignore this fact and don't take into account that the UK's so called mighty economy also includes major contributions from Scotland.
I think both sides are using fear mongering as their main tactic because it seemed to work so well for the unionists in the Scottish referendum.
