hat is more, this is Scotland's best chance to maintain membership of the EU. It's not a guarantee, but having the UK leave, but it remain - and this be explicitly what happens - may be a way of appeasing potential concerns from countries with their own independence movements (i.e., Spain)

These questions become less problematic when many of them (and many more) are currently unanswerable by the UK as a whole.
