"The principle of self-determination: the people who live in Scotland, who are the most invested in the future of Scotland, will be making decisions for Scotland themselves.
The Additional Member System employed for elections to the Scottish Parliament is more democratic than the electoral system used for the House of Commons, so the Scottish electorate would be empowered.
Control over defence and foreign policy means Scotland can choose, for example, to no longer have nuclear weapons in its seas or no longer be part of NATO.
Access to North Sea oil and "vast offshore renewable energy" revenue means greater funding for the Scottish Government. In the 1970s, a slogan used for the oil argument was It's Scotland's oil.
It could instigate a "cultural dawn" for Scotland. This has been emphasised by creative pro-independence groups like National Collective."
This thread has anything to do with Scottish independence, supporting it or not, etc.
