Edward McMillan-Scott

Edward McMillan-Scott is a British politician. He was a pro-EU Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for York and Yorkshire and the Humber constituencies from 1984 until 2014. He was the last and one of the longest-serving UK Vice-Presidents of the European Parliament 2004–2014, holding its Human Rights and Democracy portfolio throughout. In 2009, he renounced a peerage in protest at UK premier David Cameron's withdrawal from the Centrist EPP Group. After losing his seat as an MEP he became active in campaigning against Brexit and coordinates the largest pro EU forum in the UK.
