I'm from the England part of the UK. If this is because they're developing the same rhetoric as Brexit freedoms and money saving as posed by Reform and the even further right wing racists, I can tell you it's an inescapable trap!

Sounds more like they don’t want to go down the drain that England has decided to. Expect they would rejoin the EU and get closer to Europe.

I think they may have wanted independence for a little while.
