In the run up to the Holyrood elections in May 2021, we campaigned in constituencies where the majority of voters are pro-EU, yet had unionist, pro-Brexit MSPs. We believe that the situation has changed drastically since the last independence referendum: the UK has left the European Union and the UK’s new internal market means that the Westminster government will be able to over-rule Scotland’s devolved powers.
The result of these elections and the agreed power-sharing agreement between the SNP and the Scottish Green Party sent a strong message to Westminster that Scotland is committed to retaining its devolved powers, to Independence and to EU Membership.
