No need for a thingy over the O anyway as you are spelling the wrong word.
In this case you are referring to the electoral roll.

If they are going to re-join the EU and to be treated as a Scottish citizen all you need to do is live in Scotland I can see a lot of people who have enough money (and can afford it) moving to Scotland, claiming citizenship, paying taxes (remembering they are wealthy enough to be able to move there) and then becoming EU citizens again.
And a lot of small businesses currently discovering how long term "teething problems" means (just like how "world beating" in reality means "sub-standard") - they could relocate to Scotland and resume trading.

If Scotland leave the UK, the people who have been born in Scotland, are Scottish - and no longer British.

What's stopping them relocating to Ireland just now?

Quite a lot have. And to other Member States of the EU.

I'd expect something similar into an independent Scotland in the EU by companies that are either near or have a particular affinity.

Imagine a world where independence wasn't an issue. Do you think a govt, no matter what party, would be getting re-elected with the track record the SNP have.

I suspect that this episode is drawing to a close. Sturgeon has been damaged and it isn't yet possible to say how much. It will be interesting to watch the act of will needed to campaign.

Jings ...Is my memory failing now I thought I’d rewritten that for you once before as I say I can see your point
Because everything is secondary to Brexit and England everywhere else gets less attention and because the incumbent govt is the English / Brexit half of the population incompetent govts are not thrown out.
Do you really want to go into a Google search war as to which government has made the biggest gaffs. I certainly can’t be ****** and let me tell you that’s not because I feel I’d lose.
I realise you are obviously happy with the result of the last Indyref and either don’t agree the people were lied to or you agree they were lied to and don’t care. Either of those stands I’m afraid I can never agree with.
