By The National and Believe in Scotland Brexit is the result of a democratic deficit which sees Scotland ignored BREXIT has slashed Scotland’s exports to the EU, pushed large and small firms to the brink of bankruptcy, created job losses, cost millions in lost orders and left fresh produce rotting in queueing lorries unable to get to European markets in time. And ironically the area of the UK to suffer most from Brexit is the area which wanted it least: Scotland. How did we get here, when Scotland voted resoundingly against Brexit? After the UK voted Leave, the Scottish Government continued to seek solutions to the many looming Brexit problems until the very last minute, but Westminster’s entrenched attitude made any form of compromise impossible. How could Scotland’s best interests and our democratic wishes be so completely ignored?
