The Celtic Alliance: A Game Changer?

The Celtic Alliance: A New Political Horizon | Brussels Trip Part 3 After ten years of Brexit, something remarkable is emerging across the Celtic nations. In this final episode of our Brussels mini-series, we move beyond the question of ending Brexit to explore something far more significant: the growing political alignment between Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland—three nations now governed by parties committed to a future independent of the UK. This episode features highlights from the panel discussion "10 Years On: Time to End Brexit," which took place on the evening of our European Parliament visit. As Philippa Whitford powerfully stated during the debate: "For most people in Scotland, the time to end Brexit was 10 years ago." We couldn't agree more. But Brexit, we've come to realize, is merely a symptom of a deeper shift in how these nations see their future. Key themes which emerged from the panel discussion: 00:05:50  Preparing for a future outside of the UK 00:17:27  An English perspective 00:25:18  A question of democracy and respect 00:32:08  How Proportional Representation could unlock a better future If you missed parts 1 and 2 of our Brussels series, you can listen to them here.
