The U.K.'s debt belongs legally to Westminster, so Scotland, by definition, can't default on it.

Too often in the past, Scotland has been sidelined and ignored in the Westminster corridors of power, but that doesn't have to be the case anymore.

The truth of the matter is that countries the world over have deficits. Let us remember this about Scotland's deficit: it was not created in an independent Scotland; it was created on Westminster's watch.

We've chosen to stay part of the Westminster system, but we don't want to be a forgotten, sidelined part of it.

Tory governments are bad for Scotland.

If you have a Tory government at Westminster that takes us out of Europe against our will, there may be people in Scotland who think, 'You know what, we might be better off independent.'
