In leaving Europe, the U.K. has lost Scotland GlobeDebate
Ted Fraser is a Canadian journalist currently living in Edinburgh.
The numbers are ominous. A 1,022-person poll from August, 2018, found that if Brexit does materialize, 47 per cent of Scots would be for Scottish independence, with 10 per cent saying they were unsure. This level of support is substantial – and should terrify the United Kingdom. Since then, Scots have continued inching away. Five months ago, tens of thousands of Scottish National Party supporters marched through Edinburgh, ending with an independence rally next to the National Parliament. In January, hundreds of protesters were back to “stop the clock” on Brexit. Even Ms. Sturgeon, the poised professional, has lashed out, calling the Brexit deal “grubby” and “shameless,” and fuming that the Tories “will stop at nothing to hold on to power.
Ms. May’s actions have made things even worse. Days ago, the Prime Minister made headlines across Scotland when she allegedly told Ms. Sturgeon that she “wasn’t bright enough” to understand her Brexit plan. Brown Swan agrees. The divide over Brexit, she says, “is a clear example of divergence between Scotland and the rest of the U.K. and suggests that Scotland is being overruled by a majority.”Is England worried about the possibility of losing Scotland? Dr. Keating doesn’t think so.
