Why is EU membership necessary?  In fact, I still don't understand why Scotland would excise itself from one union, and jump right into another union.  So, honestly, I think the EU thing is a joke.  The only benefit the EU provides to European Nations is a single currency, but that same benefit is also a significant drawback because having the Euro as a currency means not having monetary control.  Your currency doesn't adjust, thus if or when there are issues in the economy, and prices need to adjust down or increase, they can't. 

EU membership comes with perks, like freedom of movement or huge trade benefits, these trade benefits are worth more than the single currency which has been show to be unstable.



Hmm, pie.
