Hi @MairiMcAllan got your leaflet and I have some questions...

1. You show an EU flag; can you confirm or deny that the SNP have a feasibility study into how long it would take an independent Scotland to join, and it makes a direct comparison to Montenegro (19 years) Image
2. You say "once the pandemic is behind us... ...from Boris Johnson"

So logically - if, by the time the pandemic is fully gone, Boris is no longer PM, then you will withdraw the threat of a referendum?
3. You claim we reject Nuclear Weapons - can you confirm you want an independent Scotland to be a Denmark style NATO member- allowing all NATO nuclear armed ships including rUK subs full and free access to all Scottish ports and waters?
4. You claim there is a 'power grab' against the Scottish Parliament.

Can you show one thing the Scottish Parliament has ever legislated on, that it can no longer legislate on?
5. You say people in Scotland rejected Austerity cuts; did you support the growth Commission findings that Independence would mean a decade of deeper austerity, and are you against that?
6. You claim with Independence we will get the Government's we vote for; how do you reconcile that with times most Scots vote for unionist parties yet we have a Nationalist Government?

Just a couple of thoughts on #EFTA

1) if Scotland did become independent I would want it to be in the EU, I just a) don't think that's feasible and b) it doesn't offset damage of leaving UK
Many times when I point out the process and problems of EU membership, and someone realised they can't wish away issues (like keeping the pound and closing Chapter 17) they just dismiss it with "we'll just join EFTA in the meantime"
First: even if that was a trade equivalent of low tarrif EU membership it might be the least of bad options but it's still much worse than the status quo for trade Image

@LADYRAMPANT you claim "of course Scotland could be in the EU" and to have a master's in EU law; I'm hoping you can clarify some points?
Nicola Sturgeon claims we can keep the pound ( pegged or Sterlingised) and join the EU.
How could we close chapter 17 of the Acquis on Monetary Policy without Governance of Monetary policies such as quantitative easing and interest rates?
Can you outline if, when and how we would meet the Copenhagen Criteria for EU membership application?

This is a lengthy, but very worthwhile article. It's as relevant to the UK including Scotland as well as the USA.
You can listen to it as well. I recommend it.

I found two bits it talks about in social media *very* interesting; on different models and algorithms.

One model delays posts by 24 hours. You get a chance to remove or correct things before they go public. It slows discourse.
Another model was how to build consensus; people post something. You either agree with it or disagree. No reply function.

Then the algorithm promotes post with *consensus* not engagement.

@MhairiHunter I'd argue lying about there being EU legal advice in 2014, then using our money to cover up the lie, then surpressing the committee findings was controversial.
@MhairiHunter Selecting a small subset of years of figures to base the whitepaper"s hopelessly optimistic economic model on; that was controversial.
@MhairiHunter Having two nuclear reactors in Scotland, but no processing or storage for the waste - all done in England, and glossing over this when it would cost billions and be dangerous for centuries in an independent Scotland: that's controversial

IMPORTANT ALERT; There's a dodgy Survation Poll interpretation on the way.

It will show the rise in support the SNP desperately need.

It will probably come on a bad news day for Nicola.

Here is what to be aware of.
Please share.

Amidst domestic Scandals, @theSNP will try in May to woo Scottish remain voters to lend them a pro-EU vote.

But what do you actually know about the SNPs history with Europe?

Let's have a look...
1975: @theSNP campaigned against the UK entering Europe.
Some of their anti-Europe arguments may sound familiar. Though needless to say their project fear predictions of not voting how they demanded didn't come true.
