Abstract

Until the 1980s, the SNP was opposed to membership of the European Community/Union, although there was a small pro-European element within the party.

In the late 1980s – at the same time as the Labour Party – it turned towards Europe. Since then, the EU has become a key supporting framework for the independence project.
