> sure you're also staunchly against Scotland and any referendum to join the EU, and against Catalonia becoming independent as well?

Why? I think the first is a good idea and the second fine if that’s what they want.

Because those would be breaking up the unions of those countries. It's no different morally or philosophically from Switzerland leaving the EU.

  • Say what? Switzerland isn't in the EU, how can it leave?

    It has treaties, but not membership. That doesn't make it "leaving" if they annul the treaties.

    • This was the OP:

      > It wouldn’t be full Chexit. Just renegotiating and then rejecting the Schengen chapter. It would then be up to the EU to execute its Guillotine clause.

      My terminology was matching what was used here.
