What an independent Scotland can learn from Denmark

Denmark is not perfect. It has recently adopted some of the most restrictive measures on immigration in the EU – though these are less restrictive than the UK which has made asylum seekers who arrive without permission into criminals. 

Not all of Denmark’s choices will appeal to an independent Scotland. But with independence, Scotland can look to the neighbouring country of Denmark for some lessons on how to use the new levers at its disposal to build a stronger, fairer, more democratic society.
