But Dave Martin needs to think two referendums ahead, if he suggests that Scotland could offer EU citizenship for Brits to moving to Scotland to try and stay in the EU after just one referendum- if we voted for an exit.
It is clear that the SNP think Scotland will be out of the EU after a leave vote. ( that is their reason for a second referendum after all)
Edit.
As was the case in the Scottish referendum, the question of Scotland's possible entry( or not) into the EU can ONLY be asked by the UK government.
The UK government refused to ask for clarification during the Scottish referendum( because they were happy with muddy waters)
, let's see if they are more inclined now, to clarify the position.
They will only do so if they think that clarifying that point will help them with a remain vote. If not , they will not feel inclined to clarify the situation ( yet again) as that would be giving the voters real facts that might be used against them.
