Survey finds majority of Europeans favour an independent Scotland being allowed into the European Union

• A YouGov Survey found that a majority of Europeans across Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain favour an independent Scotland being allowed to join the European Union.
• Support for an independent Scotland's EU membership ranged from 63% to 75% among the surveyed European nations.
• Conversely, less than half (46%) of people in Great Britain would back an independent Scotland becoming part of the EU, with 32% expressing opposition.
• The research highlights a divergence in views, particularly as Scotland voted to remain in the EU during the 2016 Brexit referendum, unlike the UK as a whole.
• The Survey was conducted despite Labour leader Keir Starmer's stated position that a second Scottish independence vote is not a priority and he cannot imagine one taking place while he is in Downing Street.
