When you see what has gone down in Catalonia, which I didn't think was the most militant of Spain's regions, you have to wonder about Scotland's hopes for independence and immediate admittance into the European Union. As Scotland would need unanimous agreement amongst the 27 to join, this all only confirms how unlikely Spain would be to agree and give further credibility to their own separatist movements. And any other member states with strong regional identities would feel the same.
