I don’t get how the Scottish independence movement can be anti-Brexit, which was about the UK wanting more independence and self-governance.

If that’s what they’re after, why would they want to join the EU after leaving the UK?

The EU and the U.K. are very different kinds of union. The EU can not require you to host nuclear weapons against your will for example which is a key issue in Scottish independence.

Because the line about Brexit being about independence was stupid. The UK enforces far more control over Scotland than the EU ever did.

Brexit was nothing about the UK wanting more independence and self governance.
