The European Parliament must endorse a new agreemnt

-- with absolute majority of its members, it is 376 of 751 MEPS.

They have no power to exclude Scotland from the EU - therefore, they must must find a compromise

I am not proud to see the opposition to the right - it is not my baby. My opposition was always democratic. We always criticized the lack of democracy and put forward constructive reforms.

The EU has come to stay, therefor it must be reformed, be transparent and democratic and stop misuse of other peoples money. 4 month pay top intermediate commissioners and then 3 years of after salary...

The legal situation is clear - but complicated. Only 28 member states can unanimously exclude Scotland. And only 28 member states can unanimously adopt an amendment with an own representatioon for Scotland in the EU institutions.

Therefore, all parts are bound to find a compromise, and they will. No one is interested in Scotland leaving the EU and they will approve an independent Scotland as a member if that is the result of the referendum.

Scotland may have 13 MEPs and a commissioner and representatives in the council of ministers - same number as Denmark because we have the same size.

How can you see when a politician is lying?

He is opening his mouth!

(While not true, I find it very funny!)

I think ideally that all European nations should become members, also Russia and Ukraine. But it must happen in cooperation, and not to escalate conflicts.
