So in reality, the changing of the UK Government is a swap from one Eurosceptic party to another, and that is where I hope Scotland will continue to reject both of them. Both Labour and the

Tories have split their support bases on the issue of Europe, and so both are stuck in the ridiculous mantra of promising to make good the home decorations, whilst the building remains

ablaze. The SNP remains the most prominent EU-supporting party across the UK, and our proposition is straightforward – Scotland will thrive as an independent country within the European

Union. > 👀 Tory Scottish Secretary Alister Jack says there’s “no > desire” for Scotland to rejoin the EU. Let’s set the record > straight. >  > ✅ Scotland overwhelmingly voted

January 11, 2023 Whilst transition will take time, in an increasingly multipolar world between the United States, China and the European Union, only EU membership will truly allow Scotland

to retain a seat at the top table and influence decisions affecting the lives of Scots. Twelve European Member states, from a total of 27, are of a similar size or smaller than Scotland – so

we’d be in good company in a democratic political system geared to respect the needs and views of smaller nations. And nothing in independence precludes a close relationship between the UK

and the EU, or indeed Scotland and the UK. We all share mutual economic and security interests, and geography – in an increasingly illiberal and authoritarian world, liberal democracies must

stand firm and united to protect our shared democratic values. An independent Scotland will be a fully productive and engaged member of the European Union, ready to put our shoulder to the

wheel in tackling the great generational challenges of our time: climate change, growing economic inequality, technological transition, space exploration and scientific research. In all of

these areas, Scotland has unique strengths and experiences to bring to the table, to help foster cooperation and find 21st century solutions to 21st century problems. > 👇 The

As the SNP’s Europe and EU Accession Spokesperson, I want to see an independent Scotland re-join the European Union as a full member in the future. We hope to see the UK pursue a closer

relationship with our European allies too – but the Tories and Labour must first escape the political cage they’ve built around themselves.
