This statistic shows a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out if those residing in Scotland think the country should be a member of the European Union if, in September 2014, the country votes 'Yes' to become an independent nation. In January 2014, the majority of respondents (71 percent) said that they thought Scotland should indeed be a member of the EU.
If Scotland became an independent country, should it or should it not be a member of the European Union?
