European Nations and Regions Organisation (EUNRO)

Why did we start @EUNRO_org? To put regional #identity at the heart of #Europe’s future. Granting #regions recognition and #autonomy can bring: ✅ Regional #representation ✅ Stronger democracies ✅ Better governance ✅ Fairer economies Learn more at 👉 eunro.org

@RealCounties Love the map! It would be so great to see the shires restored to their former glory. It's also great to see the issue of regional identity gaining traction in the UK. Would be happy to talk to you about more about this and potential cooperation. Please DM if interested.

@EUNRO_org Agreed on identity - but governance is separate. Councils administer; counties describe the place and its long-term identity. Interactive map available at RealCounties.com

Confused by councils and counties? Easy version: Counties = geography Councils = administration The confusion comes from mixing the two.

@theSNP The Scottish nation must be sovereign in all matters.

Scotland can do better with its future in its own hands. Westminster will never work for Scotland. If you want decisions about Scotland to be made here, in Scotland, make it both votes SNP.

How strong are local and regional identities in the EU? 🤔 As it turns out, very strong! In 2020, a Special Eurobarometer found that an average of 69% of EU respondents identify with their local area or region.👇 #regions #identity #europe
