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.

I mentioned Greece in the sense that if your economy tanks you won't have the safety net of the EU to support you. Not that you wouldn't get loans and such, but your EU membership would certainly be jeopardized, if not delayed, if Scotland can't compete economically. It wouldn't be fun.
