"Independence is today urgent, necessary and possible"
It is urgent because of the path the UK is on: outside the EU, with your living standards stagnating, and with little prospect of change.
It is necessary because it is only with the full range of powers of independence that the sort of transformational change that we need to see—the sort of change that makes the economy work for everyone—can be achieved.
And it is possible because of the existing strong foundations Scotland has, and the opportunities that would come to grow our economy and deliver a fairer society.
Scotland has huge economic strengths for the future, including abundant renewable energy sources, formidable tech capability, outstanding food and drink industries, beautiful natural environment and our talented, cultured and skilled people.
We can see that comparable independent European countries, with fewer of our advantages, are thriving: they are fairer, more dynamic and more prosperous than the UK.
An independent Scotland would be just as capable of matching the success and living standards of those independent nations.
We all care for this stunningly beautiful country.
With love, hope and kindness, I believe we can transform the life chances of the people who live here and those who choose to live here.
That is the promise of independence.
