As part of the UK, Scotland has the best of both worlds — we have a strong Scottish Parliament taking important decisions on schools and hospitals, whilst benefiting from the strength and security being part of the bigger UK brings.
We pool and share our resources across the whole of the UK, which spreads the burden of paying for our public services like pensions and welfare.
Why would we want to put this at risk for the sake of Alex Salmond’s independence obsession?
We are better and stronger together as part of the UK.
