Protecting Scotland’s Interests in Negotiating our Future Relationship with Europe

As an amendment to motion S5M-03427 in the name of Michael Russell (Protecting Scotland’s Interests in Negotiating our Future Relationship with Europe), leave out from “welcomes the options” to end and insert “regrets that the paper does not countenance the UK remaining a full member of the EU; considers that voting for a departure is not the same as voting for a destination; believes that this democratic decision cannot end with a 'blank-cheque Brexit' and a deal that nobody voted for being imposed by a Conservative administration still unable to provide any certainty and beset by contradictions, and calls on the UK Government to agree to a referendum on the final terms of Brexit and all of Scotland's MPs in the House of Commons to vote against the triggering of Article 50 unless this is guaranteed.”
