I don't think it's just a political move, and I think the risks are very real. If Scotland's economy tanks post-independence, I doubt anyone is going to want to tie themselves to its sinking economic ship. The EU already has one Greece.

No, it's entirely a political move. The UK would be fucking themselves up if they did that. It's the same as the US and China in trade only to a smaller scale, no side would for a second want to remove something that's win-win for the both of them. Consider that Greece is more and more relying on tourism, which is entirely dependant on international wealth of the rest of Europe, their situation is very much different from us.
