Yes but it's a different ball game once England leaves the EU. at present the UK has a edge when it comes to exporting, we are members of the EU and have access to the single market, we are now throwing that edge away.
Scotland seem prepared to break away from the UK to keep that edge. they will gain from our loss, it's an easy move up to Scotland for many English company's. it will also be the most logical place for country's outside the EU to invest in.
It's a seductive line of thought, especially for Nationalists. However the obstacles to any of those outcomes are immense and would require an incredible amount of political and economic will to make every element happen. Even then, the timeframe for those changes already looks impossible. It's easy just now for Sturgeon to stand up at her party conference and tell the members that she's preparing the legislation for a second referendum - frankly that's a copy and paste job from the 2014 paperwork.
The game has undoubtedly changed in a post-Brexit landscape in Scotland, where many Labour and Tory supporters voted to remain in the EU. What Sturgeon has to do is persuade a significant number of those voters to switch from No to Yes, and there's nothing in the polls, in the SNP track record, or anywhere else that suggests that they have done enough. Yet. Some EU sabre rattling by Sturgeon for the benefit of Theresa May is useful right now in terms of softening those voters up; but to be honest she would have been better concentrating on winning the economic arguments that they lost in 2014. Beginning a negotiation process - or drafting legislation - to apply for separate Scottish membership to the EU would have been far more considered - more politically astute - and would assist in some of the long game aims around independence.
