Charles Kennedy European Quotations

I happen to consider myself a Highlander even before a Scot; I am proud to be British yet feel comfortable as a European citizen.

I find no contradiction between being a Highlander, a Scot, a citizen of the U.K. and a citizen of the European Union at one and the same time.

Britain is a European power. We cannot change our geography. Our involvement in the politics of European cooperation is one of necessity. Our wealth and our security depend upon it.

'Federalism', in the context of political and media usage in Britain, has come to mean the creation and imposition of a European superstate, one centralised in Brussels.

By common consent, most European countries support the maintenance of robust welfare states and are comfortable with taxation systems that support them.
