lpv:spoken text	". – To participate in peacefully reuniting a once fractured Europe is a remarkable privilege. I voted for this with great satisfaction today. As a representative of the Scottish National Party, I was also very conscious that many small countries, which only recently re-established their independence, were among those we voted in today. By contrast, however, Scotland, one of the most ancient small nations in Europe, remains no more than a 'region' of a Member State as things are viewed from Brussels. In this new enlarged Europe, Scotland must surely aspire to more than that. The people of Scotland will pass a judgement about that on 1 May in the Scottish Parliamentary election. Enlargement from the outside is taking place. It may also take place from the inside. As the European Convention proceeds towards its conclusion, it seems clear that a future constitution will place no barrier in the way of internal enlargement. I hope this process will commence soon."@en1
