Ask yourself: wouldn’t you like to live in a country with a social/economic/environmental policy framework based on this set of values? Wouldn’t you like to be able to vote to create such a nation?
The global health crisis has changed everything. People have come to realise we cannot continue with the old failed way of managing our economy. The system championed by Westminster is creating huge inequalities, reducing social mobility, trapping families and pensioners in a cycle of poverty, keeping wages low while prices rise and negatively impacting climate change.
If we have learned anything from the banking crisis, Brexit and Covid-19 it’s that our economic system and our way of organising society is unsustainable and needs to be reset to focus on the wellbeing of the people, society, the economy and the environment. We need to move away from the concentration on the wealth of nations and focus on the wellbeing of nations. Believe in Scotland is leading the thinking on this and is developing a Manifesto for Wellbeing.
