FOR three years, Scotland has fought to secure our place in Europe and defend the peoples’ vote for the right to remain within the European Union. This has ranged from an Emergency Bill in the Scottish Parliament to ministerial efforts from the Scottish government to liaise with the British government.
Now, in harmony with the many Scots who desire independence, the Scottish government is putting forward legislation that, if successful, could see Scotland become an independent nation that would be able to pursue membership of the European Union of its own accord.
This follows the EU referendum vote on June 23 2016, where Scotland voted by 62 per cent to remain within the EU. Recent polling shows that pro-EU feeling has grown even stronger since the vote, with two thirds of Scottish voters now supportive of remaining in the European Union (EPC, June 2019).
