| Will I be a citizen of the new Scotland? |

| In the context of EU citizenship, the SNP has an open and inclusive approach tocitizenship. The automatic right of citizenship will be open by right to all those living in Scotland, all those born in Scotland, and all those with a parent born in Scotland. All others are free to apply, and dual citizenship would be an option. The SNP believes that Scotland is not full up – Scotland’s problem is emigration, notimmigration. We should therefore welcome the contribution of the new Scots whochoose to make this country their home. |
