Inexplicable logic

Lots of trade statistics fling around, here are a few more.  In 2018 export statistics for Scotland to the UK were 60 per cent, rest of the world 21 per cent, and the European Union 19 per cent.

The logic of the SNP is we become independent, then hand over that independence to the EU in order to protect our smallest market share.

Meanwhile, we get a hard border at Carlisle with our main market.

Before we become independent, members of the European Union supporters club need to explain the inexplicable logic of the above.

When independent, look after our biggest market share by staying out of the European Union.
