Chapter 6: Building a Better Scotland
Will independence make Scotland a fairer country?
Independence offers Scotland the opportunity to escape this vicious Westminster circle to let Scotland emulate our more successful neighbours.
What would Scotland do differently to Westminster?
With independence we could build an inclusive, fair, wellbeing economy that works for everyone in Scotland.
How can independence help tackle age-based wage discrimination?
With independence, Scotland could create a modernised Labour market and ensure everyone earns a fair and decent wage.
What would be the immigration policy of an independent Scotland?
Immigration is essential to Scotland’s economy, culture and public services. Here’s how it would work in an independent Scotland.
What will happen to my pension after independence?
Pensions will be 100% safe in an independent Scotland. We will have the power to improve the level of pensions and provide a better future for our older people.
Will the NHS be protected in an independent Scotland?
While Westminster ignores and underfunds our NHS, it will always be protected in an independent Scotland.
What currency would an independent Scotland use?
An independent Scotland would initially use pound sterling, before transitioning to its own currency.
Would there be a border between England and Scotland?
An independent Scotland would remain part of the Common Travel Area. Independence would not stop people moving freely across the border between England and Scotland just as people from the Republic of Ireland can move freely across the border into the UK.
