Hague warns about Brexit
Former British Foreign Secretary William Hague warns that the UK could break up with Scotland going its own way if Britons vote to leave the European Union.
In an article published in the Daily Telegraph, Hague said voting to quit the EU in a referendum likely to be held next year could help the Scottish nationalists' attain independence.
He said he would back remaining in the bloc despite his own serious misgivings about the EU when the referendum is held. He went on saying that leaving of the UK would weaken the bloc itself.
"We will have to ask, disliking so many aspects of it (the EU) as we do, whether we really want to weaken it, and at the same time increase the chances, if the UK left the EU, of Scotland leaving the UK," Hague wrote.
Lase week, Prime Minister David Cameron met his European counterparts in Brussels to try to drum up support for a reform of Britain's relationship with the EU, prompting a number of senior Conservatives to publicly express their opinion on an EU exit, including former Defense Secretary Liam Fox saying on Sunday it was time to "end the pretence" that Europe would change to accommodate Britain.
EU membership has long been a contentious topic in Britain. Eurosceptics, who believe the UK would be better off outside the political and economic union, seek the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
