Arguments for/against Scottish independence:
Every single argument against Brexit—except ONE—also applies in miniature to Scotland leaving the UK (a smaller nation leaving a larger free trade zone).
The exception was the Tory complaint that laws in the UK were dictated from afar by an unfriendly foreign power.
In the case of Scotland, s.35 orders, reserved issues, and Henry VIII orders prove this assertion to be true—a right-wing English nationalist party has a choke-hold on Scottish policy.
