A challenge to realise the hopes and dreams of the nation
Once the plan for a better Scotland has been crafted at the behest of the Scottish people and civic Scotland, the challenge for all political parties is to explain how they can best deliver the plan. The Convention’s finished plan will represent nothing less than a reflection of the hopes and dreams of the Scottish people for a better Scotland. It will be based on the input of citizens and civic organisations, informed by global best practice. Believe in Scotland considers there to be zero possibility of such an ambitious plan being delivered by any constitutional option other than full independence.
If prioritised by the Scottish Parliament, the Citizens’ Convention can open the door to using the Scottish Parliamentary Elections in 2026 as a de facto referendum, with the highest possible probability of an independence victory.
