Brexit chaos leaves Scotland on independence tightrope - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

With Britain tearing its hair out over the Brexit confusion, Scotland’s government is biding its time as it prepares for the ultimate prize — independence.

The government is “absolutely committed to an independent Scotland in the European Union,” Scottish Minister for Europe, Migration and International Development Ben Macpherson told AFP while out campaigning in Leith, east of Edinburgh. Phil said Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party had “done a lot of good but I don’t agree with them on Brexit”.

“All the SNP has to do to keep the independence movement together is to decouple it from membership of the EU,” he added. The shifting blocs have largely cancelled themselves out so far, with polling stuck at around 55 percent versus 45 percent in favour of staying in the United Kingdom, according to polling expert John Curtice, from the University of Strathclyde.“It certainly makes the democratic case easier because it really does throw into stark relief this democratic deficit problem,” Kevin Pringle, a former director of strategic communications for the SNP, told AFP in his Edinburgh office.
