So far as the latter matter is concerned I'm still puzzled why it is that there is said to be a problem with Scotland staying in the EU after independence, but not for the other part of the former UNited Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), whatever it may choose to call itself. Two new countries.

If Scottish independence affects all constituent parts of the Union equally, then all of the of the UK should be allowed its say in the referendum. Why should it be left to 8.4% of the population to make decisions which, if you are correct, could have dramatic effects on us all?
