European migrants need to vote Yes to independence to secure Scotland’s EU membership

The pro-independence campaign is calling on European Union migrants in Scotland to vote Yes in the referendum. As pointed out by Scotland’s Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon speaking at a Polish for Yes meeting:

 "With the Westminster parties dancing to Ukip's anti-European tune, Scotland faces the very real prospect of being ripped out of the EU against our will in the event of a No vote.

"With independence we will finally be able to take our place around the European top table, building on our positive relationships with our European partners and ensuring we get the best possible deal for Scotland." 

This comes as increasing numbers of the over 160,000 European nationals living in Scotland state their support for Scottish independence. Many site British Prime Minister David Cameron’s pledge to hold an in-out referendum on European Union membership if the Conservative Party wins the next UK election. The pro-independence campaign has made it clear that an independent Scotland would remain in the European Union. European groups in favour of independence include Polish for Yes, Italians for Yes, French for Yes and EU Citizens For An Independent Scotland.
