Scotland WITHIN the United Kingdom? Or the United Kingdom WITHOUT Scotland?

In the referendum on Scottish independence held in 2014, the Scottish clearly rejected the idea of their country becoming an independent country by 55.3% to 44.7%.  Nevertheless, for the Scottish National Party, who dream of Scotland as a separate sovereign state, if possible within the European Union,  that disappointing result is still not the end of the story. The demands for a second referendum – “IndyRef2” – have not dwindled, even though the opinion polls give a relatively unclear picture of what might happen in the Scottish people had a second chance.

To provide up-to-date background information on this question, we have invited two guest speakers: Dr Kirsty Hughes, founder of the Scottish Centre on European Relations and Mark Lazarowicz, a British lawyer who was a Labour MP in the Westminster government for many years to throw some light on the various aspects of this issue, such as: Could there be a second referendum? What would the consequences be for the United Kingdom? Could Scotland become a member state of the European Union?

The online event is organized by Europe Direct Dortmund and the Anglo-German-Association in Auslandsgesellschaft.de.
