Rennie: EU Vote will define our country for decades to come

Willie Rennie has been travelling round Scotland on town centre tour over the last few days, urging voters to vote to remain in the European Union.

Here he is in Perth:

In his final pitch to voters he said:

Voters going to the polls tomorrow will be doing more than simply putting a cross in a box. They are taking a decision over the values that will define us as a nation for decades to come.

Open and outward looking or insular and closed. Ambitious and hopeful or timid and cynical.

We have a choice between building on the progress that we have made as part of the EU, or leaving and going it alone. The EU has helped protect human rights and workers’ rights. Our businesses sell their products all over Europe, supporting jobs here in Scotland and across the UK. Crime does not respect international borders and the EU helps our police work with other forces across Europe to keep us safe.

Tomorrow we can choose to work together or walk away from international cooperation that has helped keep the peace in Europe for more than five decades. We will choose to work together or walk away from something that has given us billions of pounds in trade, millions of jobs across the UK and has helped bring thousands of criminals to justice.
