“Now the way to sort Brexit is for Scotland to become an independent country and rejoin the European Union, that will open up economic opportunities for our country.
“It will, crucially, allow us to have our approach to migration which will actually be in our economic interests other than the folly that’s been pursued by the UK Government.”
Of course, but that requires both sides to actually want that. The rest of UK will not want this to work for the same reason that the EU didn’t want Brexit to work, it gives other nations ideas about leaving. Even the SNP doesn’t really want it to go perfectly because they’ll lose their scapegoat that has given them power for over 15 years.
Sorry, but this just isn’t true.
You can absolutely be in the whole integrated EU market and not be a member. Other countries do it, but the ONLY way to do it is to follow the exact same rules for every single product.
And that’s the one thing the UK absolutely refused to do. You can’t be part of an internal market if you refuse to follow the rules, and since an EU Scotland would, and a Brexit England wouldn’t, it can’t work, ever.
