This eleventh paper in the ‘Building a New Scotland’ series sets out the Scottish Government’s vision for an independent Scotland in the world.
This summary shows that independence will mean that Scotland takes its place in the international community; alongside 193 other United Nations member states, able to join the European Union, with the powers necessary to protect its citizens and prosper in the global economy.
Independence would also mean that Scotland gets to determine the type of state it wants to be on that world stage – one that acts based on its values and principles, promotes human rights and development, and builds partnerships with other countries and international organisations to address global challenges.
An independent Scotland would be a good global citizen, working towards peace and security in the interests of Scotland’s people.
@Bampot Sorry, but New Scotland has already been “built” and I’m living in it. #NovaScotia
But do you class yourself as New Scottish ,New British ,Canadian or First Nations ? Ay
I always meant to pop up there when I was visiting your beautiful country but unfortunately always seemed to run out of time . Anyway ,I hope you have a most excellent New Scottish day… Heeeeeucht !
@Bampot Canadian first, Nova Scotian (which would translate to New Scottish, I guess) second.
And pop over anytime!
Ah wis only kiddin an didnae mean ye tae answer that question…ha ha
I did pop over regularly to Ontario until recently to visit family, all my Uncles and Aunties have since moved on to the Great Glen in the sky now though and their kids, my nephews and nieces are widely dispersed ,not only all over Canada but all around the planet.You need a satellite system to keep track of them.
But hey,who knows ,maybe one day I shall nip over and include Nova Scotia in the tour.
You take care and have a most excellent day.
