Brexit - What Scotland needs to know before voting

 Published on Jun 8, 2016
The UK media present the financial and economic implications of the Brexit vote as if it would have the exact same impact on all parts of the UK - but our research shows that a Brexit would impact very differently on Scotland’s economy to the UK as a whole. If you want the Scottish economic facts rather than the exaggerated campaign spin from both London centric campaigns then find a few minutes to watch this video before you vote.

SCOTLAND IN EUROPE: Wee BLEU Book

On 23 June, Scotland and the UK will go to the polls to answer the question: “Do you agree the United Kingdom should remain a member of the European Union?”

"The SNP is campaigning for a remain vote, and an enthusiastic turnout. We are an internationalist party. We want independence for Scotland not to withdraw from the world and shun our neighbours, but to enable us to interact with them as equals."

The lack of understanding of the specific economic impact on Scotland of a Brexit within the Leave campaign has been astounding. The trouble is that the UK media present the financial and economic implications of a Brexit as if it would have the exact same impact on all regions of the UK – but my research has shown that a Brexit would very definitely impact more negatively on Scotland.

Out of the UK, in the EU? 

Confusing times ahead

by Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp 

The National  June 3rd, 2016 

I would like to see the UK vote to stay and for Scotland to become an independent nation with an EU-style relationship with the rest of the UK and the EU. The tightening of the polls UK-wide however also brings in the possibility of what I call the Schadenfreude scenario when Scottish Stay votes keep England in the EU against its will, if Leave win in England by less than a per cent then it could happen and boy, would that make politics interesting.
