The best way to build support for independence is by making full use of the powers Scotland’s Parliament already has to improve people’s lives, help them save money and protect our planet.
That will inevitably mean picking a fight with Westminster when they stand in the way of our efforts.

Westminster has failed Scotland.
We need to show that independence would make a real difference to people’s lives, contrasting that with the chaos and mismanagement of Westminster.
Our movement is building a positive case for an independent Scotland. 🏴

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it.

There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
