Yes Scotland

Main Panel on August 10th, 2012

The campaign for a Yes vote in the referendum to be held in Autumn 2014 has launched.

Bringing together a range of people from different political parties (and none), the Yes campaign is for everyone who wants an independent Scotland.

It will be a community-led campaign, involving ordinary people, grassroots activists and independence ambassadors the length and breadth of Scotland. What unites them is a common cause and a shared purpose in seeing our country make the progress it needs to in order to make the most of our potential and allow all of our citizens a better, fairer future.

And the one basic truth which all of those campaigning for a Yes vote all agree on is that the people best placed to make decisions on Scotland’s future are those who care most about Scotland – and that is all the people who live here. Independence means the people of Scotland will be responsible for their own future. And because we have the greatest stake in the country and its future, we – all of us – are best placed to make it more successful and a better place to live.
