Wales and Scotland on their own economy? Without Westminster backing. Good luck, I couldn’t see either surviving. Scotland maybe due to Energy industry

The EU has funds to help develop economically subdued areas. It was one of the big problems of Brexit - those income streams weren't replaced

The EU has entry criteria that neither country will be able to meet.

A little naive to think that EU membership snd subsequent funding will be quick, if at all. Every member of the EU could stop intergration dead, and have a vested intetest in not dividing the EU pie up further.

Yet to see any cohesive or comprehensive plan. There will be short term pain.... and people tend to only plan short term.... hard to convince people to leave, especially on the roaring suvcess of Brexit /s

Seems like you’ve skipped a step there though, because you’re mentioning EU funding but without talking about how they’ll get in…
