“Scotland First Minister Alex Salmond told ONE News he would want to offer citizenship to an independent Scotland to as many descendants as possible. The offer could also allow citizens to live and work anywhere in the European Union. ‘I think like Ireland, Scotland would want to use its global reach in the most effective way and make that sort of inclusive statement,’ said Salmond. Salmond’s Scottish National Party swept to power on the back of a promise to hold a referendum on independence. ‘Scotland’s a country of five and quarter million people, we have a reach internationally, across the world we’d want maximum entitlement to citizenship,’ said Salmond.”
