Last night I attended a meeting of the
Conservative Friends of the Union held at Dundee University.
The guest speaker
was Murdo Fraser, a former deputy leader of the Scottish Conservatives. Murdo serves
in the Scottish Parliament as a Mid-Scotland and Fife Regional MSP and is the convener of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee in the Scottish
Parliament.

The meeting was attended by many Dundee residents
who aren’t usually politically active but share the desire to see Scotland remain as
part of the United Kingdom.
Murdo spoke positively about being part of
the UK and afterwards answered questions on a wide range of topics. He mentioned that our pensions, mortgages and
jobs are more secure as part of one of the biggest economies in the world, Scotland’s
biggest trading partner is the rest of the United Kingdom and we are
represented by one of the world’s most influential and respected diplomatic
networks of embassies, high commissions, and consulates around the world.
