With independence we can build a greener Scotland
Reacting to the Scottish Government's latest white paper on Independence, Scottish Greens MSP, Patrick Harvie said:
“With Labour, Tories and Reform all battling to see who can be the nastiest party and who can attack vulnerable people the most, independence has never been more vital.
“It’s clearer now than it was in 2014 what an independent Scotland could look like in reality.
“This could be a nation of welcoming people, prosperous green industries, and a democratic country where the people hold the power. Instead we are shackled to the failing system in Westminster that has been rigged in favour of the super-rich.
“With the Labour government hammering working-class communities with welfare and spending cuts, and with the threat of Farage’s far right politics looming over Downing Street, it's time for Scotland to stand our ground as a proud progressive nation.
“Next year Scotland will have a chance to elect a pro-independence majority in Holyrood, that will fight for independence but also deliver for the people of Scotland in the face of the mess in Westminster.
“A vote for the Scottish Greens will deliver that majority, but will also be a vote for the fairer and greener country an independent Scotland can become.”
