Welcome to my website which I hope you will find interesting, informative and useful in explaining how the European Parliament works, how it relates to the other EU institutions, and what I do as a Scottish National Party Member of the European Parliament representing Scotland in Europe.


When I was first elected to the European Parliament, in 1998 the European Union had 15  Member States, the Euro currency had not been adopted and the Scottish Parliament did not exist.

 

SNP - Standing up for Scotland in Europe!

 
Now the EU has enlarged to 27 Member States, the Euro is well established and Scotland has a successful Scottish National Party in Government.


My ambition is to see Scotland develop politically, becoming a normal independent country with the automatic right to be represented at the top table in Europe and fully participating in the international community of nations.


                                                       

                                                        Yours for Scotland
