...You may be Scottish in identity, but not legally.<br /><br />Only adults on the electoral roll in Scotland are Scottish citizens, legally.<br /><br />There is no such thing as legal Scottish nationality. It does not exist and has so no definition.<br /><br />For a Scottish nationality to exist, Scotland must be an independent, sovereign state, so able to confer that on people. <br /><br />For now, only citizenship can be conferred by current legal residence and entitlement to vote in Scottish elections. This comes with other duties such as paying Scottish tax rates, jury services in the Scots courts etc.<br /><br />If someone in your position supports Scottish independence, I think it’s fair to say they are of Scottish nationality, at least in their hearts. They can claim to be Scottish in as my wife is French.<br /><br />If they oppose independence – ergo oppose a legal Scottish nationality existing – then they can’t claim to be a Scottish national. If someone says 'I'm French, the unionist must say 'I'm British', for that is the nationality / citizenship they support. <br /><br />At most Scottish for unionists them is not a nationality, but a simply a Great British regional identity.Scottish Skierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584099659760612109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-84777812820694227162020-07-31T13:05:58.060+01:002020-07-31T13:05:58.060+01:00Can a unionist kindly confirm all the Scots MPs in...Can a unionist kindly confirm all the Scots MPs in the cabinet and shadow cabinet thanks.<br /><br />I'm assuming it's ~8.4% of both.

For any fair and decent person that should be be self-evident. <br /><br />If Cherry genuinely wanted to be in Holyrood as opposed to Westminster then she had an opportunity to it stand in 2019. But she didn’t, and you have to question her values and self-interest.<br /><br />But she’s supposed to representing her constituents, and in turn bringing the argument to her Home Office brief. When do you ever see her making headlines for blows landed against the Tories?<br /><br />I think Cherry should be focusing her fire on Priti Patel rather than game planning routes of her own career. normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000148514416602835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-62633880863048051702020-07-31T08:39:21.024+01:002020-07-31T08:39:21.024+01:00Did not Alex Salmond hold the dual role of MP and ...Did not Alex Salmond hold the dual role of MP and MSP?
