It is SNP policy. Btw, an independent Scotland's government can devise any rules it wishes for joining the EU. I recall that Edward Heath never conducted a referendum before the UK joined the then EEC.

The SNP will remind viewers that Scotland was taken out of the EU against its will and best interests as that will encourage voters to vote SNP.
Constitutionally, voting to leave the UK in a referendum instructs the Scottish government of the day to enact the policy. It is not a vote for the SNP or its policies.
Humouring you for a minute. Assuming the SNP wins a majority this year, is there time to get an independence referendum pushed through, won and enacted and then to have rejoined the EU. All in five years before the next Scottish elections when Scotland could elect a different government?
