Scotland will follow Sweden’s Nato example, SNP MP says

SNP MP Alison Thewliss defended the party's stance on nuclear weapons

AN independent Scotland will follow the example of Sweden in joining Nato without having nuclear weapons, an SNP MP has said.

Alison Thewliss also dismissed a suggestion by a Tory MP that the SNP’s stance on abolishing nuclear weapons is “nuts” – arguing that holding such defences does not make the world safer.
