Alibi Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 IMHO the SNP (if they can tear themselves away from all the unpopular legislation they seem to be prioritising) should modify their EU policy to allow EFTA (or whatever it's called now) membership as a stepping stome to neutralise the "Scotland will never be allowed to join the EU" rhetoric from yoons. EU member ship in any case should be subject to a post-indy referendum or election where parties make it clear whether they will apply for EU membership. The fewer conditions put on indy, the better, so that everyone who wants indy can vote for it without ruling it out because they might not want EU membership or some other diktat that is appended to the indy offering. Sadly, indy doesn't seem to be a priority for the SNP at the moment. As for freeports, presumably if they are a bad thing or an obstruction to membership of the EU, they could be abolished after indy, but any decision should be for the people of Scotland, not a cabal of bullies at Westminster who have a financial interest in them.
