The EU's just not that into you, First Minister

Press Office • Jan 05, 2021

The SNP want to return to the failed EU project and shackle Scotland to rule from Brussels.

UKIP candidate for Highlands and Islands, Robert Stephenson, is delighted that a new dawn has finally broken for the United Kingdom with the end of the Brexit transition period. He called on Scots to reject the SNP and their fantasy of re-joining the EU following tweets from First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, who said Europe should "keep the lights on" and claimed Scotland would be "back soon".

UKIP is contesting the forthcoming elections to the Scottish Parliament, scheduled for 6 May 2021, on a platform to hold a referendum to abolish the devolved government based in Holyrood. Robert said: “It seems to be lost on the First Minister that Scotland would never be an independent nation as a member of the EU. Rather than embrace the tremendous opportunities of Brexit, the SNP want to return to that failed project and shackle Scotland to rule from Brussels. It demonstrates precisely why Scots should be granted a referendum to scrap the Holyrood complex ending the absurd grandstanding of EU fan girl Sturgeon.”  

"Scotland is far better off in a sovereign United Kingdom. However, the Union which benefits all of us handsomely is undermined by an SNP holding a candle for the EU. For no tangible benefit and at our expense they are given a platform to agitate for their bizarre idea of national independence where two thirds of Scotland’s laws are made abroad. Instead of the ‘neverendum’ we need a referendum to scrap the Scottish Parliament and its appendages." said Robert.

Robert went on to say: "UKIP is the only party contesting the next election that want to scrap Holyrood and thereby ensure Scotland will thrive in an independent United Kingdom.”
