Infrastructure (aka investment) question - oil in north sea inherently global due to investment required on a per rig basis. Renewables are local in terms of infrastructure enabling local control/democratic accountability. The 'working class' organised to mirror the pattern of capital investment...??? lol (interconnectors and transmission networks 'national' not global and easily covered by local contributions)

That’s interesting. I think the sympathy with the European project is more than about access to markets. It’s much more than that. It’s about working together on things like food security, environment, climate. The four freedoms are a huge source of opportunity too. And Scots look over at Ireland- historically the UK has ben able to bully Ireland mercilessly but its EU membership has put it much more on an equal footing.
