THE case for Scottish independence has “never looked stronger” than after the financial crisis brought on by Liz Truss’s Tory government, an international politics expert has said.
Professor Simon Hix, the Stein Rokkan chair in comparative politics at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, said that the weakest argument for a split from the United Kingdom had “always” been economic.
However, he said that had “suddenly switched” in the wake of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s “mini-budget”.
