I guess the way I see it is being tied to the UK makes conservative government massively more likely despite the vast majority of Scots voting against them.
I see the EU as being important for international relations (I.E. prevention of wars between EU countries) and for trade.
That said I can agree that being part of the UK provides Scotland with a safety net of sorts but that's probably more of a emotional attachment than a rational one.
My only point is that the EU is just as right wing as the UK. What is better about being subject to a right wing government in Brussels than a right wing government in London?
I really don't know how to compare the relative political leanings of the UK government and the EU but I see the EU as important for stability as I said.
