Welcome to the European Movement in Scotland
The European Movement in Scotland (EMiS) is Scotland’s largest independent voice campaigning for European Union membership for Scotland and the UK. We are a voluntary organisation, funded by members’ subscriptions and donations.
Our membership and influence have grown every year in the ten years since the disastrous Brexit referendum. In 2016, Scotland voted by 62% to remain in the EU. The latest polling says that 73% of Scottish voters want to reverse Brexit.
EMiS members played an important part in campaigning for the return of the Erasmus+ scheme and in building the case for the UK aligning with the European Single Market. We now urge the UK to rejoin the Single Market and the Customs Union as full members.
We can look back at the result of the Brexit referendum and see that not only did quitting the EU make the UK economically poorer and globally less competitive, it also weakened the West.
There’s an urgent need to strengthen the UK economy and for all the countries of Europe to work in partnership and harmony. Inside the EU is where we belong.
We build campaigning momentum through a great variety of activities, including social media, press comment, articles and releases, letters to editors, street stalls, webinars, lectures, attendance at party political conferences, community events and festivals, university freshers’ weeks, responding to government consultations on European matters, social events and much more.
Wherever you are in Scotland, whatever your politics, if you share our values, beliefs and ambitions come and join us. Even better, join us and give some of your time and expertise to help build a better future.
