FOLLOWING this week’s events in Westminster, we asked Scots if Brexit has influenced their views on Scottish independence.

Alan Young, a 62-year-old heating engineer, said that Brexit hadn’t changed his views: “I’m for independence and wish they would just get on with it.”

He described this week in Westminster as “pathetic. People have voted [for Brexit] so they should do the job.”

Anja Ormiston, a 24-year-old student and musician, also said that Brexit has bolstered her want for independence. “I feel stronger about it now. Scotland voted to remain in the EU and is getting taken out of it against its will.”

Oliver Harper, 37, felt that Brexit hadn’t had and effect on his views of independence at all. “I think it’s too early to say. I voted No in 2014 mainly because of uncertainty.”

The lawyer said he might consider voting for independence “if there was a bit more information about what it’d be like”.

He called last week’s events in the House of Commons “chaotic” and believes that many politicians are out for “their own gain, rather than working together and doing what’s best for Britain.”

Isla Scott, a student support worker, has “always believed in independence for Scotland and that we should be going ahead with it”.

Brexit hasn’t changed her opinion, but she is angry at Theresa May’s postponement of parliament’s Brexit vote.

“They just kicked it down the road. It still needs to go ahead.”

The 55-year-old would like a general election, “We need to get rid of the Tories.

“They are inflicting so much harm on the people of this country.”

Brexit has reinforced the views of the 44-year-old community worker, who asked not to be named. “I was a Yes voter and it has confirmed that my opinions were right and strengthened my concerns.” Of the House of Commons, she said “It’s been a pantomime. Mhairi Black said what we were all thinking.”

Black, MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, labelled the UK Government “an absolute embarrassment”.
