Voters continue to be ahead of politicians when it comes to rejoining the European Union, campaigners have highlighted.
Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra has argued that the UK should rejoin the European Union as a “long-term objective” for the whole country.
Marra stressed that “it is in Scotland’s interests, and in the interests of the whole United Kingdom” and that restoring our membership would “help bring down prices and generate more money for our public services”.
Tom Brufatto, Policy and Research Director at Best for Britain, said:
“He’s of course correct to highlight the benefits of restoring our EU membership for the UK, including the £92bn GDP boost – at the very least.
“While a democratic mandate is vital, one look at the polling numbers makes it clear that the public are miles ahead of politicians on this issue, and they want urgent action to support our economy, bear down on the cost of living and say yes to our future in Europe.”
