LFFC (#285 above): The reason Spain may want to veto Scottich EU membership has more to do with clipping the wings of the Catalans and the Basques than it has to do with Gibraltar (in my opinion). There may be other member states who might also want to curb the ambitions of breakaway regions.
Who gives a !!!! what Spains motives are for Vetoing Scotlands Membership to the European anathema. If it means scotland is out of Europe I'd vote for inependence tomorrow.
