Quite the opposite in Scotland I think. Remember the DUP’s endgame is to vandalise a process that it believes undermines the province’s place within the UK. In Edinburgh, the SNP is interested in looking like a nation-state government in waiting and prefers to try to look like a good international citizen. Generally this means they like showing up at international events at taxpayers’ expense even when they have no business being there. But it does also mean they prefer to paint Westminster as reckless and themselves as responsible international citizens. It’s very unlikely they would seek to do anything that could be said to breach international law.
