Creating a Better Scotland

The Scottish Government doesn’t need a referendum to engage the people of Scotland and it can do so in a way that creates a cultural shift, as well as
an increase in ambition for, and confidence in, our nation. This can move independence support to unassailable levels. We can have that national
conversation now and we certainly do not need Westminster’s permission to do so. 

Scotland needs a new style Citizens’ Convention We can achieve that with the creation of a new vehicle, a new style Citizens’ Convention, with a goal of ‘Creating a Better Scotland’ with
a focus on a transition to ‘a Wellbeing Economic Approach’.  The Citizens’ Convention would engage the people of Scotland,  civic Scotland, charities, campaigns, unions, churches, think tanks and more, bringing them together to co-create a plan for a better Scotland. Some key civic organisations have already been approached and have indicated that they could not join a convention solely based on  ndependence but could join a Citizens’ Convention such as suggested above.  

The Citizens’ Convention can ask the Scottish people to help design a better future for their nation, to share their hopes, dreams and aspirations for a better Scotland. When we help the people co-create a shared story of a better Scotland – that will become Scotland’s national mission.
