Voice of Remain voters in Scotland ‘muted’ ahead of Brexit
0 Have your say The voice of Remain voters in Scotland has been muted as political parties concentrate on protecting the devolution settlement or arguing for a soft Brexit, a think tank has warned. The Scottish Centre on European Relations (SCER), which celebrates its first anniversary this week, claimed “all remains to be played for” ahead of Brexit despite there being an “untapped energy, anger, concern and passion” north of the Border on the issue of leaving the European Union.“Given Theresa May’s stance on leaving the EU’s customs union and single market, the UK is heading, at best, for a ‘Canada-dry’ free trade deal with the EU,” said SCER director Dr Kirsty Hughes.“That could cut UK-EU trade by almost half – and by more for services trade. “So why is the Remain voice in Scotland so muted?
