Campaigning for independence

The SNP has worked tirelessly to make life better for people in Scotland. We’ve done this because we believe in the potential of our country and our people. We are proud of Scotland, but we know that with the powers of a nation state, we could do so much more.

As a devolved Parliament, we have often found ourselves in the position of having to fix the damaging decisions taken by Westminster. From energy policy to migration, from economic strategy to climate action, the powers we currently hold are simply not enough to protect the interests of Scotland. And so, we act as the brakes on Westminster, pushing back, protecting, and fighting for what’s right.

But what if we didn’t need to stop Westminster’s damaging decisions? What if we could make our own choices — decisions that put the needs of our people first?

This is the case for Scottish independence. It’s time to stop fixing the UK Government’s mess, and start charting our own course with independence.

With independence, we wouldn’t just be reacting to events in Westminster, we would be making decisions for ourselves — decisions on energy, economic growth, social justice, and Europe — decisions that move Scotland forward.

A new vision for Scotland

Scotland is rich in resources — from oil and gas to renewables, food and drink to life sciences. But as long as we remain tied to Westminster, we are unable to fully harness our wealth and potential. In an independent Scotland, we could ensure that our energy resources work for us, not just for multinational corporations. We could invest our oil revenues in creating a fairer, greener economy. We could bring back the economic flexibility of a nation-state, like Denmark or Ireland, where people have higher incomes, greater equality, and better living standards.

Scotland is capable of becoming an economic powerhouse. We have the industries, the resources, and most importantly, the talent. With independence, we can build a new economic model — one that promotes sustainable, inclusive growth, with higher living standards for all.

The power of grassroots campaigning

But to make this vision a reality, we need your help. We’re launching a renewed, grassroots campaign for independence — one that’s data-driven, people-powered, and tailored to the modern media landscape.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Share the campaign materials: We’ve created some initial easy-to-share graphics and leaflets that you can distribute locally that can be found below. Post them on your social media channels and share them with friends and family on platforms like WhatsApp.
• Start the conversations: Personal conversations are one of the most effective ways to campaign. Speak to people you know who are open to independence, and share your reasons for supporting Scotland’s future as a nation-state.
• Be part of our collective reach: If every SNP member speaks to or messages just three people, we could reach 200,000 people. This is grassroots campaigning at its best — engaging, direct, and personal.
• Read about the latest arguments: Keep yourself informed by visiting www.yes.scot/answers that has searchable questions and answers relating to the case for Scottish independence.

Together, we can make independence a reality

Support for independence is strong, consistently hovering around 50%. But there is still work to be done. With your help, we can turn that support into a movement that delivers independence for Scotland.

We can create a future that’s fairer, wealthier, and more equal — a Scotland where we make the decisions that matter.

The road to independence is ahead of us, and with your support, we can build a better future for Scotland. Together, we can deliver the change we deserve.

Get started by sharing the graphics below with your friends, family and followers.

Let’s do this. For a better future. For Scotland.
