26/03/2014 Party Political Broadcasts - Scottish Liberal Democrats

NICK CLEGG: Are you in, or are you out?

That's the real question at stake at the European elections on May 22nd.

UKIP want to take Britain out of Europe,

even though that would wreck the economy and destroy jobs.

The Conservatives are flirting with exit from the European Union.

And Labour? They won't even lift a finger to keep us in.

And the SNP's plans for independence -

they gamble with our place in Europe.

Only the Liberal Democrats stand up for Scotland,

in Britain and in Europe.

So I'm asking you to vote for the Liberal Democrats,

the party of "in".

I'm in because we set the global standards

for shipping for the world.

95% of everything we use, we eat, we heat ourselves in, comes in by sea.

Our main competitor and our market is in Europe,

so we have to remain one and the same.

Out means fewer jobs.

Out makes it harder to catch criminals that cross our borders.

Out means we can't work with our neighbours

to tackle climate change.

Out means we just pull up the drawbridge

and turn our backs on the world.

I'm in because as a student,

I get opportunities just to access funding

through the EU on an Erasmus grant,

and through that, I can study abroad in France. I'm going today.

And I get to study with people from all over the world,

and that's all thanks to the EU.

In Europe means being in work.

In means working with other European countries

to keep our streets safer and to protect our environment.

In means standing tall in the world

because we stand tall in our own backyard.

I'm in for me, I'm in for my business and I'm in for my children.

Europe is key to us. It's our growth market.

When we sell to a customer in the EU, it's simple.

They're not going to get a customs charge.

It's just like selling to the UK.

If you're for "in",

to keep us safe, to protect our environment,

to continue our economic recovery, I need your support.

If you're for keeping Scotland in Britain, and Britain in Europe,

back the Liberal Democrats.

Be for "in".

Vote Lib Dem.
