Stephen
Metcalfe MP: on the importance of keeping Scotland in the United Kingdom
Local MP Stephen Metcalfe has
today commented on the importance of keeping the United Kingdom together and
called for all those who have a vote, to reject independence with a firm No
vote.
Stephen Metcalfe said: “The
fact of the matter is that the UK has been one of the most successful monetary,
fiscal and political unions in history; it would be absolutely tragic for all
of us if it were to suddenly come to an end.
It is crucial that we all, up
and down the country, and across party lines, support a truly UNITED Kingdom,
where we can all benefit from the security of a growing economy and pooled
resources.
This is especially so given
the fact that the UK faces a complex and constantly changing world, with a
number of difficult problems to face. We are all in a better position when tackling
those problems with the unity and resolve that our historic union brings.
I know that people across the
Basildon and Thurrock area and across all parties will recognise the difference
that this issue makes, and I hope they will join me in calling our Scottish
friends to vote No next week ”
