The Scottish National Party
'An open Modern Economy'
This SNP Party holds a large focus on tackling austerity and securing investment for Scottish Public Services. They've pledged to fight for a 'society where opportunities are created for all', with the increased prosperity being shared equally amongst all. At the centre of their ethos is the promise that Scotland will not 'stand down' under this SNP Party.
