On 18 September 2014, Scotland will be voting in a referendum on the
question: ‘Should Scotland
be an independent country?’ The Scottish Government believes they should
vote Yes.
The Scottish Government believes
they have a talented population with many world-class businesses and
institutions.
"We have a proud history, progressive
traditions, fine intellectual and artistic accomplishments, a strong identity
and many friends across the world."
"Through devolution, the people
of Scotland
have experienced some of the benefits of independence. The advantages of taking
decisions for ourselves have been clear. Crime is lower. Health outcomes have
improved. In many ways – like our unemployment rate – our economy is stronger
than the UK
as a whole."
"The Scottish Parliament has
protected the NHS from privatisation and restored our tradition of free
education. This guide lays out how we can complete Scotland ’s journey to home rule and
become a fully independent country. If Scotland
votes Yes in the referendum the Scottish Government will negotiate so that Scotland
becomes independent on 24 March 2016."
