Does being pro-independence for Scotland necessarily mean thinking it's a good idea to stick with the EU? I personally (at this point) am undecided on the issue of full EU membership for Scotland. I think Brexit will prove to be a disaster, but a disaster not just for the UK but the whole of the EU. With the way the world is going, I think the EU's days are numbered. I think at this point, the better scenario is a massively scaled back Europe that has a strong single market trading agreement but fewer other ties.

However all of this is irrelevant to the Scottish Indy issue. I don't believe that Scotland can EVER thrive under Westminster, and especially Tory, rule and I don't realistically see a shift in power there for a long, long time. I think any "benefits" will be systematically removed over the coming decades and any and all resources that Scotland does have currently will be plundered by London until independence IS impossible.

In short, I think IN OR OUT of the EU, Scotland needs to be out from under the London thumb as soon as possible to secure any future that doesn't look more and more bleak by the year.
