What policy initiatives can best create the ground for independence?
2026 will be an important year for Scotland. The Holyrood elections can give us a majority supporting or opposing independence. But a paper majority is not enough. We need to see policy programmes in the independence parties manifestos which will help to build the foundations for independence within the limitations of existing powers.
There are two respects in which we can build these foundations. We need policies which create confidence in Scotland’s ability to improve our quality of life. We need policies which can help build the pathways to independence.
The conference which will be focussed on very specific policy issues. We are asking activist groups and individuals to present the three top policy initiatives which they wish to see prioritised in the manifestos. We hope the outcome will be to identify the areas of greatest concern and to find whether there is some pattern of consensus on what we most want the parties to promote. We might even hear some new ideas.
