European Union membership is not the same as National Unity. The Separatism we're talking about and this guy in the video is talking about is National unity and being part of a nation state. EU members are still independent nation states. Scotland and the Belgian place would still be in an alliance with the UK and other European countries, they'd just be new independent nation states.
