| Opponents of Independence like to call it separation. In fact, as an independent country, with a seat at the top tables of the EU, the UN and the Commonwealth, Scotland would be far less isolated than it is at present. At the moment we have no direct representation in any of these international bodies and no diplomatic voice around the world. When South African President Thabo Mbeki visited the Scottish Parliament in 2001, he said the Parliament had a responsibility to speak up on issues of global importance. The SNP agrees, and the real separatists are the people who would deny Scotland that international voice. |
