All the main Westminster parties, including Labour, are committed to austerity – the failed policies of cuts and privatisation that is destroying jobs, conditions and services and means a brutal dependency on foodbanks for many. Better Together, which includes Labour only offers more of the same. The SNP white paper “Scotland’s Future” doesn’t have all the answers and doesn’t offer the socialist society we would like to see. The white paper does offer a vision of a more progressive Scotland. While supporting a YES vote, we support the policies that can secure a more fair and equal Scotland: Fair pay and pensions No privatisation: nationalisation of essential services and of banks Council housing and investment in renewable energy Repeal of the anti-trade union laws Progressive taxation where all pay their fair share A welfare system and National Health Service based on need PCS Left Unity fully supports the right of the Scottish people to self-determination. We reject the idea that the referendum is about narrow nationalism, which it is not. It is about democracy, and the legitimate wish of the people to decide their own political destiny. It isn’t about the SNP, nor indeed about any one political party, but about the future governance of Scotland. Scotland will finally have the ability to elect a Parliament with full powers. Scotland will finally be able to support candidates who will fight for the kind of socially just, fair and more equal Scotland that we would all wish to have and to live in, instead of one where even the provision of the most basic necessities is at risk. Please support the YES campaign; Vote YES !
