    Withdrawal Agreement vote sad day for Europe

    We will continue to support citizens' rights and the principle of solidarity. The ties that bind us run deeper than our political union and although the UK will for now embark on a separate path we will stay partners and friends. If the UK changes its mind in the future then we will leave a light on for them to return home.

Needless to say, in such a referendum, all British components of the Greens/EFA group will staunchly campaign for the latter option
