I have googled and I've yet to find any quote from a Spanish government minister that says they'd block Scotland. Because they've never said it. The Spanish PM himself said the Scottish situation is different from Catalonia because the referendum would be legally binding when approved by the UK govt.

She probably can't because then the spotlight might fall on prejudices rather than the swelling surge of romantic freedom.

The Telegraph has called for the beheading of Nicola Sturgeon. In the wake of the First Minister beginning the process for a second independence referendum, the national newspaper that claims a monthly readership of 27.1m ran the headline:

Here is a link where Dastis speaks directly to the Spanish press http://enpaiszeta.com/espana-no-perm...e-independiza/ and another link http://www.expansion.com/economia/po...c428b45a4.html but its in Spanish. Try googling 'Espańa no permitirá que Escocia se una a la UE' and then use the translate option

Then don't worry about it. Go vote leave in the next referendum, good luck to you. You're paying for the wall tho.

Spain is flatly rejecting Scotland's plan to negotiate its stay in the single market despite Brexit. Spain WILL exercise a veto against any special treatment. This puts Scotland on the same track as any other country trying to join the EU and this is not what Sturgeon wanted; in fact this is a devastating blow to the SNP. Spain would love to keep Scotland out of the EU because of its own territorial conflicts, especially with Catalonia, but legally it can't do that, everyone knows that. What Spain does have is a constitutional right to reject easy access to the Union and so forgive me because I thought that's what we were talking about.

Also there isn't a "queue" to get in. Some countries like Turkey have been trying for decades but many countries took a year or less to meet the requirements and get in

How does that year apply to a country with a huge deficit though?

What you think that they will just take you on, deficit and all, and do better than the Barnett formula? Nice fantasy. What's in it for the EU exactly?

Don't be under any illusions, currently the UK is paying Scotland's bills. How do you keep yourselves when the money stops? And if you just expect the EU to fund you and take over, really what is in it for them? If you are going to throw away the status quo, at least try to be realistic.

The reason Turkey has not joined is because at least 8 countries have said they will walk away
