the option most people prefer is not a credible option for an independent country seeking to be in control of its economic destiny - and is certainly incompatible with joining the EU
(2/n)

and as this excellent paper explains, the option that has only 5% support is by far and away the most likely short-term outcome

(3/n)

(4/n)

The option most favoured can only be delivered by remaining in the UK - all of the other options are unpopular solutions to a problem only independence would cause
