Nicola Sturgeon has outlined plans to stage another Scottish independence referendum with the publication of the first in a series of papers which will present the pro-independence case.
Speaking at Bute House yesterday (Tuesday), the First Minister launched the latest paper – titled Wealthier, Happier, Fairer: Why Not Scotland? – in which she said that “independence in itself does not guarantee success for any country”, adding that “the aspiration of a wealthier, fairer and more successful country will depend on democratic decisions made post-independence and the good stewardship of governments elected”.
She said that it is “time to set a different and better vision for Scotland”.
