In reply to the discussion: Scotland leader to tell party she's 'never been more certain' of independence [View all]Denzil_DC
(7,241 posts)36. This is an utter myth about Spain.
The Spanish government has gone to great lengths to emphasize that it sees the situation with Catalonia as totally different to that of Scotland. If Scotland secures and wins a referendum, Spain will not stand it its way if it seeks accession to the EU.
If you need a source for backup of my rebuttal of this disingenuous claim of yours, here's one among many: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-membership-spain-scotland/
Now you can maybe give a source for this claim of yours of Russian funding for the SNP. I won't hold my breath.

Be careful for what you wish for Scotland. I'm not certain how a Scotland pound would stand up

After Brexit, I am not sure how the British Pound sterling will hold up either.

I was in England during the Brexit vote and in Scotland during the Independence vote.
