Joining the Euro is an ultimate requisite of joining the EU.
    An independent Scotland would not be able to use all the EU opt outs obtained by Maggie Thatcher from the EU such as only 5% VAT charged on domestic electricity, gas and heating oil bills instead of the 20% VAT charged on electricity, gas and heating oil bills for businesses.
    Then there is the other problem with changing the clocks which the EU Parliament voted in favour of on 19th December 2019 but they have yet to implement because as usual they did not do their homework before voting in favour of it.
    You’re missing the salient point. Scotland was never a member. It was the UK.

    They can’t ‘rejoin’ something they weren’t in.

    Nicola Sturgeon kept ramming it down our throats that an independent Scotland could immediately rejoin the EU.
    This is probably a continuation of the lies the SNP politicians told us in their White Paper Scotland’s Future which my MSP Michael Russell admitted to me after the 2014 independence referendum was basically a wish list.
    The SNP politicians wanted the people of Scotland to vote in favour of independence and then they would make up the rules afterwards.
    That is a non starter even for the three stooges standing for leadership of the SNP and appointment as the First Minister.
    The Spanish Government would object to an independent Scotland joining the EU as it would open the door for the Catalan region of Spain to demand an independence referendum.
