This is a normal post Would you care to explain how they would let Scotland join the EU as an independent country because of Gibraltar and fishing rights?

This is a normal post the Spanish fleet will want to retain access to Scots fishing waters
And they may calculate that a fragmenting UK may help them get their hands on Gibraltar. There are rooms full of people in every European capital mulling over similar things right now

This is a normal post I think Spain will be told to fuck off over that one.
Gib had a referendum in 2002 in which 99% of the population said would they hell agree to Spanish control.

This is a normal post it's all changed now
If they dont have EU citizenship life's going to get a lot harder - which is why 96% of them voted to remain

This is a normal post So you think because of that they'll either let themselves be absorbed by Spain or join the EU as an independent country?

This is a normal post It depends on a million decisions yet to be taken in Madrid, London, Brussels and elsewhere
If you wanted certainty you should have voted the other way

This is a normal post Hey this is your theory not mine, not up to me to provide certainties about it.

This is a normal post my theory:
The Spanish will exercise their veto if they feel it's in their national interest. They will take into account that their actions may stoke independence movements in their own country but that will not be their sole consideration. The situation has changed since the last Scottish referendum.

They are all worried the border will get closed again, but that hasn't meant they all want to be Spanish all of a sudden.

This is a normal post Madrid doesnt want them to become Spanish all of sudden
They've said they want joint control which they (probably) see as a transitional step to full sovereignty

This is a normal post Even though the Spanish in La Linea oppose it.
I wonder if Madrid is going to hand back the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Meillila to their rightful owners as part of their plans?
