'Most Europeans would support independent Scotland joining EU'

Jul 16, 2025

Edinburgh [Scotland], July 16: A majority of Europeans favour an independent Scotland being allowed into the European Union - though a third of Britons would be opposed to this, a survey has found.
YouGov questioned people living in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain on their views on the prospect of an independent Scotland becoming part of the EU.
Support across these nations for Scotland to join the EU ranged from just under two-thirds (63%) to three-quarters (75%).
But across Britain - where more than 2,000 people were polled - less than half (46%) said they would back an independent Scotland being part of the EU, with 32% saying they would oppose this.
The research was carried out despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer having made clear he has no plans to allow a second vote on Scotland leaving the UK. Scotland voted narrowly to stay in 2014.
