Should Scotland Gain Independence To Remain In EU Post Brexit

It is a big question for many whether Scotland will remain in the European Union (EU) following Brexit.

The two governments must assess all options with equal vigour, said the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said likely there may be one more independence referendum. On the other hand the Scottish Secretary David Mundell said it is fanciful to imagine the idea of Scotland remaining in the EU as well as UK.

According to IPPR director Russell Gunson, as the Scottish government lacked genuine commitment to the UK the unionists must present options.

IPPR was formed in late 1980s and during the Tony Blair’s partnership it was highly influential.

Some say Scotland should gain independence in order to remain in the EU. However, if believed to former Scottish government jobs commissioner Sir Ian Wood, Scotland will be a small independent member in the EU bloc and to enjoy very little influence.

He added, “Everyone wants to be independent, but I think bigger economic units are more successful. We actually have to be better at living and working together.”

Suggest whether Scotland should get independence to join EU or to remain a part of UK to have a successful economy that results with better living and happier living. Share your views with fellow readers in the below given comment box.
