How Scotland’s Exit from U.K. might be not what Blackford Says?

Ian Blackford, Westminster Parliamentary Leader of the SNP one of politics most controversial figures an irritant to many in Westminster who as the SNPs Westminster voice in Prime Minister. Blackford’s role simply is to find the means of week in, week out using Westminster as scapegoat for all that’s wrong in politics. The SNPs campaigning rhetoric and Blackfords lines from the opposition is to paint the government and Westminster as the definition of Murphy’s law and an independent Scotland would solve all its problems.

Since the first independence referendum in Scotland in 2014 Independence has sharply been on a rise and a second referendum seems increasingly possible due to consistent electoral triumphs for the SNP in polling and elections. Seeing the union on borrowed times after being apart of Britain for centuries.

Today’s Prime Ministers Questions saw Blackford seeking to claim that Northern Ireland’s access to the European Single Market in the current Brexit deal is an injustice as for remain voting Scotland it denies Scotland the same access to European Economic bloc to trade with a economic bloc power house. It would present some practical challenges and almost seem impossible for Scotland to have significantly different concessions in trade agreements than England and Wales in the Brexit trade agreement purely because Scotland didn’t vote for Brexit.

Brexit deal or no deal to some could seem the biggest threat to the union. However, it seems that Blackford doesn’t make it clear that if Scotland were to Exit from the United Kingdom would find itself in a state of migraine conflicting with the Westminster government negotiating with its neighbour on matters on trade and other diplomatic issues. An independent Scotland or Scotland getting trade imports from the European could be relying on importing via England to Scotland being on the island of Britain not like Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland.

Part of the reason and what Blackford short sighted argument failed to recognise is the fact that if there were to be different trading relations between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would pose significant questions and challenges. First being that it would mean erecting an artificial boarder on the border between the Northern and Republic of which would pose significant challenges as would mean further checks and balances at the boarder. Any changes between the boarder and trading relations between the two nations would see possible political and diplomatic consequences as could brake interactions law or undermine the Good Friday agreement. Ignoring that would make any trade deal with the Biden administration a lot more difficult.

To say this simply, it’s alas another tied a tremor from Blackford to say Scotland should be a sovereign independent nation without recognising the consequences of what trading with the United Kingdom would mean. It may be a good time to hear from the SNP on their economic plan!
