Timeline
Martin was first on the Scottish Labour party list for the 2019 European Parliament election. The result for Scotland was declared on 17 May 2019. Scottish Labour lost both its seats, receiving 9.3% of the vote. Martin did not attend the declaration, leaving Edinburgh City Chambers the night before.
Since losing his seat in 2019, Martin has been appointed as co-convener of the Citizens' Assembly of Scotland. He and Kate Wimpress, from a charity and arts background, took office as co-conveners on 6 August 2019.
In July 2019, Joanna Cherry, Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South West, suggested the Assembly would be used to promote Scottish nationalism. Martin, a unionist, refused to endorse a boycott of the Assembly encouraged by Scotland in Union, the Scottish Conservatives and the Scottish Liberal Democrats. He insisted the running of the Assembly would be impartial and expressed his disappointment at the going ahead of the boycott.
He supported Owen Smith in the 2016 Labour Party (UK) leadership election.
Following the Brexit vote of 23 June 2016, Martin was invited to join the First Minister's Standing Council on Europe, a cross-party body which offers advice to the Scottish government on how best to protect Scotland's relationship with the European Union. In contrast to England and Wales, Scotland voted firmly in favour of EU membership by 62% to 38%.
In 2013, Martin was voted MEP of the year in the international trade category by The Parliament Magazine.
Martin stepped in as the rapporteur for the ACTA treaty after the original rapporteur, Kader Arif, resigned in protest. In April 2012, Martin recommended that the European Parliament reject ACTA, on the grounds that civil liberties were not adequately protected. His recommendation was adopted by the Parliament in the biggest ever defeat of a legislative proposal from the European Commission – 478 MEPs voted against ACTA, 39 in favour, and 165 abstained.
He was instrumental in the 2009 Seal Regulation, which bans the sale of seal products in the European Union. It has been estimated by the Humane Society International that in Canada around 250,000 seals have been saved per year as a result of this ruling. This was reinforced by a landmark WTO ruling following a challenge to the EU legislation by the Norwegian and Canadian governments.
He was elected in 1987 as the youngest ever leader of the British Labour delegation of MEPs. He was Vice-President of the European Parliament from 1989 to 2004, the longest period anyone has served in that position. In 2002 he was the defeated Socialist candidate for President of the Parliament.
Martin won the Lothians seat in the 1984 European Parliament election. He retained his seat, and following a reform of the electoral system, was in 1999 elected to represent the whole of Scotland along with other members.
David Martin (born 26 August 1954) is a British Labour Party politician. He was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1984 to 2019, having first represented the Lothians constituency until 1999 and then for the Scotland constituency. He was the United Kingdom's longest serving MEP and the second longest serving MEP in the whole European Parliament. Since losing his seat, he has been appointed as co-convener of the Citizens' Assembly of Scotland.
