The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They were fully prepared to take us out of the EU with a yes vote in 2014.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They didn't even bother to get legal advice on our EU membership before publishing the whitepaper.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They suppressed the parliamentary committee findings into an independent Scotland's potential EU membership because they were politically inconvenient. We still don't have them 6 years later.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They threatened to strip EU citizens of out rights in an independent Scotland, using us as a negotiation currency.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They spent less fighting Brexit than they did on a by-election; and more Scottish leave voters were SNP than any other party.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They know their Sterlingisation currency plan makes EU membership impossible; but they also know Scots want to keep the pound, so they pretend it doesn't matter.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

When Nicola Sturgeon joined, and for many years after, they wanted out of the EU. Only developing 'independence in Europe' as a Strategy to win independence.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party

In 2007 when in minority government with a supply and demand coalition with the Scottish conservatives, they supported the Tory campaign for EU reform and a referendum.

Scotland, is your memory so short? Do you really remember 1314 but not 2007?
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They voted against taking us in.
They voted against EU trade deals while we were in.
They voted for a no deal exit today.

The SNP merely want to steal pro-EU votes for their own end.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They have tried to present Scotland as United behind Yes/remain.
"Scotland's choice", "Scotland's settled will"

In truth, Scotland isn't divided by constitutional politics; we are quartered.

@MhairiHunter Why not? Where to begin!

For a start every SNP politician, every opening of parliaments, wears a white rose to honour their founding faither Hugh MacDiarmid, author of 'plea for a Scottish Fascism'
@MhairiHunter Then there are the cover-ups about the EU. The party is, and has done, everything it can to keep the truth from Scots about if, how and when we could meet the Copenhagen Criteria.
@MhairiHunter Then there's the poor quality of SNP politician we get. Derek MacKay, Margaret Ferrier, Michelle Thompson, Natalie McGarry, Mark McDonald...

You never know when your representative my be jailed, disgraced or simply dissapear... With no refunds

Super poll? Super pollocks more like!
The 64% they got for the headline was stretching it a bit!

First thoughts on the findings;
Was there nobody under 22 questioned?! 100% of their respondents recorded how they voted in 2014.

Either their sample isn't representative, with no first time voters, or it's piss-poor survey question design.
On that point as well; If their sample *does* include first time voters, then at best their claim of swing in previous no voters is unsound.
And only 1% of sample said they wouldn't vote, but we know only about 80% max ever vote.
Seems unsound.

The one message I would take to pro-EU Scots who are considering supporting independence on the basis we would be in the EU is...

**I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRUST ME**

Thread. Please share.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRUST ME.

I want you to question, challenge and double-check for yourself everything in this research;

Politicians ask for your trust that you vote then they'll deliver on the mandate you give them; whether that's to stop brexit, put Scotland first, scrap council tax or a 3rd, 4th, 5th mandate for an indyref2... Or an oven-ready deal.

Long Read: The Copenhagen Concealment.

If you are interested in the potential of a iScot in the EU, you'l find this an informative and, I hope, a useful resource. I can promise if you read it, you will be better informed than most UK politicians!

populistsplaybook.com/blog-2/the-cop…
This detailed study looks at the positions, paths, promises and problems & links to primary sources from the ScotGovt, Holyrood committees, The European Commission, EU publications & law, as well as secondary sources like quotes from politicians & media.
I analyse the process and different proposals, busting many myths, mistakes and misconceptions. It is a long read, so it has been broken down into these sections that can be individually book-marked and referred to... Here we go!

Hi @Christia_Allard you won't answer a question about currency because "this thread isn't about that"

No problem; here *is* a thread on currency.
You say we disagree with your currency position, but you won't say what your currency position *is*.
Is it a decade of Sterlingisation, knowing that it is *impossible* to meet the Economic Compenhagen Criteria, and join the EU, while Sterlingised?

Anthony won't let people reply to this tweet.
@AMSalamone you are asking people to pay you to write a fictional foreign policy for a hypothetical state, that you have based on a false premise.
Viz. A Scottish Republic that is a member of the EU.

You have not dealt with the path to EU membership and that under the SNPs plans we fail to meet the Copenhagen Criteria.
As the ECBs comments on Montenegro show, there is no appetite or precedent for a transitional arrangement with regards to currency
