WITH only one week to go until the polls open for the EU referendum, it is vital that we speak up and speak out about the many ways in which the EU benefits rural Scotland.
I was delighted to do so last week in the Scottish Parliament and to make a strong, positive case for remaining a member – a case based on the difference of the current incorporating union in which we live and the confederal one which allows small countries to pool their sovereignty in the EU for the benefit of their citizens.
