Independence in Europe is not an outlandish dream but the ultimate destination for Scotland. That is was why I was delighted to march alongside so…
bureaucracy. International isolationism. Crumbling infrastructure and communities left behind.
Ironically, the relationship with the EU will continue to dominate UK politics for the foreseeable future, while Britain remains a decidedly minority interest across the sea. War in Ukraine, instability in the Western Balkans, EU enlargement,and energy security are what the EU is talking about. The UK is now a residual problem to be managed by a small team in a backroom.
I always opposed the UK opt-outs from justice and home affairs co-operation, participation in economic and monetary union as well as the UK’s financial rebate. These opt-outs entrenched an unnecessary sniffy arms-length relationship between the UK and its friends in Europe. Rejoining the EU would necessitate a real-world, hard-edged discussion about where the UK is and what it needs to trade off in order to accept shared sovereignty.Having just come back to Westminster after the summer recess, I just don’t see the political maturity in the UK to have that discussion. I do see that maturity in Scotland.
