It's highly likely now IMO that Scotland will become independent. Brexit has unleashed political forces that have deeply divided everyone, and with a slim 5-10% margin (depending on how you measure it) that kept Scotland in during the last Referendum, now with the vast majority of Scots voting remain.

The Scottish Nationalists now have some very valid arguments for independence, and they are also now free of the factor which killed their moves towards independence in the last place, which was the issue of monetary union with the UK or with Europe. The Euro or the Pound. Now the SNP if they want independence should openly say they'll join the Euro, that was what they were reluctant to say before, no they will probably say it.

Although Theresa May could just as easily screw them over by delaying the inevitable till after even Scotland along with the rest of Britain is dragged out of the EU. What happens to Northern Ireland will also be interesting.

EU ≠ Europe!

Switzerland is not in the EU but it's still in Europe. The title is moronic!

They'll get one, but it depends on how you define 'soon'. That's the question right now, the SNP would like one ASAP, the government would like to delay it as much as possible probably even till after Britain leaves if possible, which the SNP will bitterly oppose.

There's also the dynamic of negotiations with the EU at play, Scotland's future will undoubtedly be discussed. IMO, if Scotland gets a referendum, it might be decided at negotiations between the British government and the EU within the next two years. I could be wrong on all this, it's pure speculation.

It would be great if they would leave. Then England will be free of socialism forever.

If Scotland leaves you can always take our most socialist state West Bengal. We will gift it to you free of charge. Besides, Brits love Calcutta.

The Scottish blood running through my veins yearns for the Scots to do what's best for their self interest.

Whatever decision that may be...
