It Is Vital That We

The Eu Must Be Able To Act With The Speed And Flexibility Of A Network, Not The Cumbersome Rigidity Of A Bloc.

From Caesar's Legions To The Napoleonic Wars. From The Reformation, The Enlightenment And The Industrial Revolution To The Defeat Of Nazism. We Have Helped To Write European History, And Europe Has Helped Write Ours.

We Believe In A Flexible Union Of Free Member States Who Share Treaties And Institutions And Pursue Together The Ideal Of Co-operation. To Represent And Promote The Values Of European Civilisation In The World. To Advance Our Shared Interests By Using Our Collective Power To Open Markets. And To Build A Strong Economic Base Across The Whole Of Europe.

Fundamental Questions Are Being Asked About The Future Of The Eurozone And Therefore The Shape Of The Eu Itself. Opportunities To Advance Our National Interest Are Clearly Becoming Apparent. We Should Focus On How To Make The Most Of This, Not Pursue A Parliamentary Process For A Multiple Choice Referendum.

I Have No Time For Those Who Say There Is No Way Scotland Could Go It Alone. I Know First-hand The Contribution Scotland And Scots Make To Britain's Success - So For Me There's No Question About Whether Scotland Could Be An Independent Nation.
