How the European elections may define British politics in 2014 (GQ)

In May, European Union citizens will vote to
elect their MEPs. In many nations, the nationalist anti-EU parties will
probably win many votes. The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP)
could win the most votes. Nigel Farage is its leader (see above photo).
In September, the Scots will vote in a
referendum on whether to remain part of the UK.
In 2015, there will be the general election.
Large-scale disengagement from politics is a
danger.
Questions (answer in your own words!):
- What is an MEP?
- Who are the Scots?
- What is a referendum?
- What is a general election?
- Why do you think there may be disengagement from politics?
- Why might David Cameron, the Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, be worried about 2014-2015?
