Whatever happens in #indyref, the status quo must end

The Issue

On Thursday, Scotland's people will decide whether to vote for independence.

How they vote is a matter for them, and them alone.   Whether they vote No or Yes, we promise to:  

  • Boot out David Cameron and the Tories from Number 10. Every time the Tories have won an election since 1955 has been on a lower share than the time before. They haven't won a general election since 1992. They couldn't even win in 2010. This is all down to Scots, English and Welsh people refusing to vote for them in ever greater numbers. We will fight to finish the job and finally defeat the Tories for good, whatever the Scottish people decide.

 

  • Give Labour a kick up the backside. Whether we are Labour supporters who don't think its leaders are doing a good enough job, or people who are fed up with Labour altogether, we do not believe they are offering the inspiring, coherent alternative that we deserve. We will redouble our efforts to hold them to account as long as they fail to do so.

 

  • Build a federal country with a national constitution which devolves powers both to regions and to nations. A new constitutional convention must be convened to democratically decide the new constitution.

 

  • Create a socially just country that breaks with the pro-rich policies of the last generation. A living wage, secure jobs, rights and dignity for working people, affordable homes for all, utilities and services run by the public for the public, real tax justice including an all-out war against tax avoidance, universal free childcare that supports families, the end to devastating social security cuts, a sustainable environment that is defended. A country with no food banks or legal loan sharks. A nation free of prejudice and bigotry.

 

  • Learn from the common, shared, proud traditions of ordinary Scottish, English and Welsh people who - by confronting those with power - won the right to vote, built our welfare state and NHS, won workers' rights, and confronted sexism, racism and homophobia.

 

  • Change the national anthem. The current one sucks.

To achieve these goals, we will organise and protest however we can.
