What are the pros and cons of Scottish independence?
Scottish independence is where Scotland is governed by people who live and work in Scotland, with a government based in Scotland. We get to decide our own way in the world, and if we want, we can join whatever other bodies, such as the EU that WE want for OUR reasons, and we can welcome people from all over the world who wish to live, work, and contribute to our society.
