For Episode 4 of the Scot Goes Popcast, I was joined by Ellen Höfer, the creative director of EU Citizens for an Independent Scotland. Topics we discussed include…
* The new Opinium poll showing Yes ahead by 51% to 49%.
* The threat of deportation and a ‘hostile environment’ hanging over EU citizens if they don’t sign up for settled status.
* What we know and what we don’t know about how EU citizens voted in the 2014 indyref, and how they would vote in a second referendum.
* Why EU Citizens for an Independent Scotland didn’t actually want to stop Brexit.
* The legislation that has extended the electoral franchise in Scotland to all residents regardless of nationality, and to some prisoners.
* Whether Nicola Sturgeon should resign if she is adjudged to have broken the ministerial code.
* Why Ellen feels the hashtag #IStandWithNicola is totally inappropriate.
* Why Ellen left the Scottish Green Party last year, and why she doesn’t expect to be involved in party politics again.
