      Even from a horrid neolib POV, it's bad. The idea that Scotland would have a relationship with England that's anything different from say the relationship between England and Norway, is a complete flight of fancy. It's on par with thinking Maduro could lead an invasion of Florida or something.

        The rest of the article is like "where will Scotland get their money from" and then answers its own question by saying China, and not the obvious answer of "the EU, where they got it from before"
