Tory Brexiteers are driving Scotland towards independence - Keith Brown In The Scotsman

May 27, 2019
By Keith Brown
The Scotsman

The SNP asked the people of Scotland to use their vote to send a message – and to say that Scotland is not for Brexit. They did that with gusto. The numbers are spectacular. The SNP’s best-ever European result. The highest vote share of any party in Western Europe. The largest margin of victory for any party in a European election...

And now we face the prospect of Tory leadership candidates trying to out-Farage each other in order to win the keys to Downing Street.The likes of Boris Johnson will no doubt use the success of the Brexit Party as a license to push for the hardest of hard Brexits.

In Scotland, that would rightly be seen as an economic catastrophe and a democratic outrage.If the only future Westminster can offer is the chaos of an extreme Brexit, more and more people will come to the conclusion that Scotland’s future is best served as an independent country. An independent future that we are determined the people of Scotland will have the opportunity to vote for.

Farage will lead the Uk with an England and no UK.

Shortly after that vote came the Brexit referendum in which a majority of Scots voted to remain. I don’t blame Scotland for choosing EU over a Tory Brexit.
