Today at a European Policy Centre
event Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, stated that the Scottish
government would be pushing for a double lock mechanism for the EU referendum,
whereby a Scottish majority would be required for Scotland to
leave.
David Coburn UKIP MEP for Scotland, who spoke at the event, said,
"This is just havers of nonsense. Typical SNP gerrymandering of the democratic
process, last time they excluded Scots working abroad and serving in the forces,
now they want to include any EU national living in Scotland.
"We came into the EU as one United Kingdom, we came into the EU
together, so we will leave together.
"The Scottish people clearly decided that they wanted to remain
as part of the United Kingdom so any talk of this double lock mechanism makes a
mockery of the Scottish people's decision. We respected the result, now they
must too."
