That the Parliament notes the 10-year anniversary of the Brexit referendum; recognises that all local authority areas, including South Lanarkshire, voted in favour of Scotland remaining a member of the European Union; deplores what it sees as the damage caused to Scotland by a Brexit it did not vote in favour of and that has contributed, it believes, to increases in the price of food, energy and the cost of living; further deplores what it sees as the tragic loss of opportunities, particularly for young people, that has occurred as a result of Brexit; believes that the only route to rejoin the European family of nations is through Scottish independence, and looks forward to the day this may come to pass.
