Scottish Independence

[WJ99mobile]

Brexit is nothing like a country becoming independent.

There's some major similarities though.

Each 'independence' is different. Is a Catalonia independence the same as a Scottish one? What about Yugoslavia.

Brexit has obvious drawbacks and also massive potential upsides. Scottish independence has obvious drawbacks again some similar upside that may or may not be realised.

To say they are entirely different is for me total rubbish. They both share the same areas of concern but with completely different outcomes and viewpoints.

The Yugoslavian independence movements led to new countries. So would the Scottish and Catalonian ones.

Brexit didn't. To say it's similar is for me total rubbish.

Montenegro parting from the more dominant Serbia in the former political entity know as the 'State Union of Serbia and Montenegro' was perhaps very slightly akin to the possible Scottish scenario.
And perhaps Kosovo ceding from Serbia as well.
