#REFUGEES

Under a new plan that has been proposed by Holyrood ministers, Scottish voting rights would be extended to all resident EU and non-eu adults, including refugees, and those seeking asylum. Tabled on Wednesday, the plan would be a UK first if it goes ahead. @scottmason25 said: “2 for 1 pizza, sugar tax, decline in the North Sea, time to bow your head and walk away Nicola”. @donnellymo1943 asked: “Are you rounding up more voters for another indy?” @Kiradiju said: “I assume they are no longer refugees but citizens of Scotland with no plans to return home. So they are immigrants who have earned citizenship. Sounds appropriate”. @Riktelf said: “If you vote for independence you should expect to accept much more freedom of movement of people and that would include more refugees & even more so if The SNP sign up to The EU Club, which they want to do”.
