Just a short thought that has come to my mind recently. A few years a go, in Belgium there where a huge political crisis that left the country without official government during 541 days (close to a year and a half). During this crisis the north (Flemish) and the south (Wallonia) were at the limit of rupture.
The European Union Treaties wasn't an extra problem then, and was also explained that they thought in a triple break, leaving the Bruxelles capital region as an special area as the EU capital. At that time no one have says that those two new possible countries should request a for (re)admission as state member.
Why, nowadays, the Scottish people are threatened that, depending on the result of the self-determination process, they will have to request their admission from scratch? Why also Catalonia people, whose process is an even worst situation because the Spanish government denies any right to vote, are threatened to be expelled from the Union?
