Alasdair Allan, MSP for the Western Isles, said independence could have a positive impact on the isles, as "crofters and farmers could expect a substantial uplift in agricultural and rural development funding via the Common Agricultural Policy if Scotland were an independent member state of the EU".
Alasdair Allan, zastupnik u škotskom parlamentu za Zapadna ostrva, rekao je da nezavisnost može imati pozitivan učinak na ostrva, jer bi "seljaci i poljoprivrednici mogli očekivati značajan podstrek u razvoju poljoprivrede i sela kroz Zajedničku poljoprivrednu politiku ako Škotska postane nezavisna država članica EU".
