“ True gender equality in Scotland - and elsewhere - is still some way off. ”
Equality and prosperity shouldn't be seen as enemies of each other, but as partners. One reinforces the other.
~ Nicola Sturgeon
I am a social democrat - I believe in pursuing greater equality and tackling social justice - but... you can't do that unless you have got a strong economy, unless you have got a vibrant business base earning the wealth that makes that possible.
My pledge to you is that the SNP will put women and gender equality right at the heart of the Westminster agenda.
Scotland is not a region of the U.K.; Scotland is a nation, and if we cannot protect our interests within a U.K. that is going to be changing fundamentally, then that right of Scotland to consider the options of independence has to be there.
