"Mr President, I have to say that that is a very difficult question to answer because there were half of dozen of them thrown in there.
David Cameron did what he had to do; he was forced into an impossible position but, you are right, Mr Smyth: he has gained no concessions whatsoever and he has actually now left the United Kingdom even more vulnerable than it was before. We are in a permanent voting minority, we simply have not got a friend in the room, and we have heard this morning that they want to have our rebate, they want financial market legislation.
However, he has opened a debate in Britain. The European debate has now started in earnest. Cameron does not know what he has unleashed. I think the momentum for us to have a referendum to divorce ourselves from these failing structures and to replace them with a genuine free trade agreement now has an unstoppable momentum, and that is good for the UK and it is good for Scotland. It will be good for your financial sector based in Edinburgh and will provide many, many jobs for Scottish people."@en1
