Let’s Speak Up for Scotland!
This is the first European election where UK citizens will not be able to vote. But while people in England chose to give up their seat in Europe by a narrow 53%, the Scots have been deprived of a voice against their democratic will, as they voted overwhelmingly (62%) to remain.
That’s why we at Europe for Scotland have decided to make Scotland’s voice heard.
This is important for the people of Scotland, who have been deprived of rights and opportunities by a historic exercise in democratic injustice and need support from their European friends. But it is also important for all of us in Europe. We strongly believe that amidst the current global turmoil and the looming threat of Trump, it is more vital than ever for Europe to uphold solidarity and democracy. Scotland’s strong democratic values, its inclusive stance on migration and humane perspective on global affairs, can help us build the better Europe we so desperately need.
We have therefore asked prospective MEPs across Europe to publicly commit to support Scotland’s re-entry in the EU as an independent country.
Why is this important?
In the 2016 Brexit Referendum, not a single Scottish district voted to leave, and Scotland as a whole voted by a 62% majority to remain in the EU. In subsequent years, the Scottish Parliament rejected the withdrawal process at every stage, and every opinion poll and election confirmed Scotland’s firm desire to stay in the EU.
Despite all that, Scotland was taken out of the European Union alongside the rest of the UK – which is supposed to be a voluntary union of nations –without so much as an attempt to compromise on the part of Westminster.
We citizens of Scotland were taken out of the EU against our will.
We no longer have a voice in EU institutions.
Please help us get that voice back!
