Independence will make Scotland a ‘fairer, more equal country’ – Swinney
==========
SNP leader John Swinney appeared on the BBC’s Question Time Leaders’ Special and stated that independence is necessary for Scotland to become a fairer and more equal country. He emphasized the SNP's commitment to eradicating child poverty, strengthening the economy, and addressing immediate problems like NHS waiting lists. Swinney highlighted the importance of Scottish independence and rejoining the EU to his party's domestic agenda. He expressed his desire for Scotland to be like Denmark, Ireland, or Sweden as an independent country, which he believes are more prosperous, equal, and fairer than Scotland and the United Kingdom. Swinney also defended the need for fossil fuels in the transition to net zero and stated that new oil and gas licenses would be assessed based on their compatibility with climate change objectives. He reiterated his respect for the right of the people of Scotland to decide their own future and called for a confident vote for the SNP to turn their manifesto into reality.
