If the SNP is smart, they will be manoeuvring behind the scenes to back Brexit (they cannot be seen to be doing this).
Well no. They don’t back BREXIT politically, and in fact 63% of Scots voted to REMAIN. The single market is essential to Scotland’s economy, and particularly so as Scotland has significant and growing tourism industry which for many years now has relied on seasonal European labour.
Scotland can’t support the customs union deal as we need free movement.
That way, they'll be able to call for another independence referendum, which will go massively in their favour.
I wouldn’t be so sure. It might, it might not. Certainly, many Scots are well peeved at this BREXIT mess that has been forced upon us by England. But then there are many within the SNP who want BREXIT, and then there is the tribal aspect of Scottish politics – the Union Jack Waving God Save the Queen Unionists – who will never ever support independence.
I mean how many Tory governments that we didn’t vote for have we endured?
The SNP would never be forgiven by anybody for gambling our whole economy in the hope of a good indy 2 result.
An independent Scotland will be able to waltz back into the arms of the EU.
The most important thing for Scotland is the here and now, we can’t afford to leave the Single Market.
But what’s happening right now is though Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to REMAIN in the EU and Scotland desperately wants to at least remain in the single market, the DUP does not. Northern Ireland will under this deal remain in the customs union but will also remain in much of the single market for goods. So the DUP gets what it doesn’t want and the SNP doesn’t get what it wants.
