  • Aileen McLeod (Verts/ALE). - Madam President, as a Scottish MEP, I will be voting against the Withdrawal Agreement, as the majority of my country has mandated me to do. The people of Scotland have consistently voted against Brexit, and Scotland’s Parliament has refused to give its consent to this Brexit deal. www.eudebates.... #eudebates #Brexit #EuropeanParliament #UnitedKingdom #VoteBrexit #BREXITDeal #NoDeal #nationalism #populism #Scotland
    The tragedy for Scotland is that, on Friday, Scotland will be dragged out of the EU against the democratic wishes of our people. Scotland is a European nation, and I look forward to an independent Scotland re-joining the EU - and we will soon - playing a positive role and promoting Europe’s values, international solidarity and cooperation as an equal partner.
    I am proud to have been a Member of this Parliament of Europe’s citizens and I give you my word that Scotland’s Government will continue to protect the interests of all EU citizens who have chosen to make Scotland their home and have contributed to our society in so many important ways. When the moment comes for Scotland to re-join the EU, I hope this Parliament will welcome us in that same spirit of European solidarity. In the meantime, I hope very much that you will leave a light on for Scotland.
    (Applause)

      Because they have the choice not to.
      Just like us (Denmark), another EU member that (to my personal chagrin, but that's another point) haven't adopted the Euro.
      Gee, it's almost as if the whole "sovrinty innit" argument was a bunch of bullshit.

    It's funny Scotland join England in the treaty of the Union in 1707 so it could access English colonies and trade roots which boosted the Scottish economy, over the last 200 years English tax payers have subsidised the Scottish people and often they get more perks than the English people, like free prescriptions, free toll roads. The UK voted to leave the EU as one, and now the union is no good for Scotland and wants to stay with the EU, I think Scotland has stabbed England in the back if it votes for independence and in that case England is well rid of them, more money for us, but I think England should cut ties in every area, currency, military, trade, financial, aid and a massive boarder wall.

      @@SoDaoudi well it's not the same is it, for one England didn't beg, the UK asked, but bear in mind the UK spent a fortune investing in Europe after ww2, and plus it was an economic union we wanted and agreed to join not a political one.
