I myself really believe in the 18 monthns to 2 year period before independence was in force for Scotland that the Eu would have accommodated them and fasttracked them as members too.

In fact it was the UK that as a memebr of the EU had Scotland left the UK, who maybe should have been forced to look at its EU status,after all without Scotland the United Kingdom is no longer in fact the United Kingdom at all.

It is SNP policy to be in the EU, the SNP wants Scotland to remain in the EU, hence why with 3 other Nations as part of the UK, I think she had a valid point as to that all Nations of the UK should agree to leaving the EU via a referendum and not just have the South of England in the main dictate to the whole of the rest of the UK.

I just found it a bit hypocritical of her as her party would have taken Scotland out albeit temporarily, there were no guarantees of re entry. Even though I thought she came across well I wouldn't want SNP to be part of a coalition, The SNP only wish to feather Scotlands nest and have no interest in what happens elsewhere if they can swing no tuition fees and prescription charges what would they do if the got into Westminster.
