This article has several topics, but at the heart of it are the UK’s Brexit negotiations, and the position of the Scottish government within the whole situation. Several months ago a referendum was held in which the citizens of Scotland decided to remain an integral part of the United Kingdom, in exchange for a greater level of independence in governance, administration and policy making. Due to this, the people of Scotland and the Scottish government almost represent a pseudo-independent nation within the United Kingdom, yet they are still bound by its decision to exit the European Union. Many Scottish politicians believe that this is fair cause for the Scottish government to be given an equal partnership in the negotiations for the EU exit. Downing Street politicians such as Theresa May have already prepared a vision for co-operation between the collective UK government body and that of the devolved administrations.
Personally, I believe that the approach the UK has taken to maintain the union between it and its outlying administrations is a logical and fair one. The devolution of power has provided a path to a greater degree of democratic freedom throughout the UK, and the Joint Ministerial Committee they have created to ensure equal partnership is quite conducive to the task. Using this system I believe it more likely than not that the UK and its devolved administrations will achieve an agreeable and mutually beneficial plan for exiting the European Union.
