Christian Allard SNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷 @christia_allard@respublicae.eu

@JohnStuartWilso @gavinpoints I didn’t, I said it was one of the examples of what could be done. If Iceland and Northern Ireland can do it, of course we could.

@JohnStuartWilso @gavinpoints I said that being in the single market and the customs union is what we ask the UK to deliver after the Brexit vote for the whole of the UK or at least for Scotland. It is possible, it is done somewhere else, let’s stop finding excuses for not doing it.

@JohnStuartWilso @gavinpoints Iceland is in the single market, having a land border is not a condition.

@gavinpoints @JohnStuartWilso Your opinion is noted. The No voters took Scotland and the UK out of the EU.

@Newareopagitica @europarl_en @UKHouseofLords Proportionally, non.
The EU has 27 member states, the UK has only 4 nations.

@Newareopagitica @europarl_en @UKHouseofLords The Republic of Ireland has 13 MEPs today.

@Newareopagitica @europarl_en @UKHouseofLords And of course, this is getting worse with the review of UK Parliament constituencies. Scotland has been allocated 57 constituencies for the 2023 Review, two less than at present. England has been allocated 543 (+10).

@Newareopagitica @europarl_en @UKHouseofLords The United Kingdom had 13 times the population of the Republic of Ireland and yet ROI had 11 MEPs while the UK had only 8 times more MEPs.
England has 10 times the population of Scotland, 9 times the number of MPs.
Smaller countries have better representation in the EU.

@Newareopagitica @europarl_en @UKHouseofLords Ok, there are 4 nations in the United Kingdom, the European Union has 27 member states.
The Republic of Ireland has 13 MEPs today.
The Republic of Ireland had 11 MEPs when the UK had 87, Scotland had only 6.
An Independent Scotland would have 14.

@JohnStuartWilso @gavinpoints An Independent Scotland is not going to share a land border with a EU member state until the rest of the UK decides to join us, an Independent Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

@gavinpoints @JohnStuartWilso You say excuse, I say reality, the reality we are in because we voted No in 2014 and the UK voted leave in 2016.
If not Independence then what?
