SNP Manifesto 2019

STRONGER FOR SCOTLAND
WESTMINSTER IS BROKEN
This election really matters.
At stake is who will decide Scotland’s future –
Westminster leaders like Boris Johnson or the
people who live here?
People in Scotland are sick of Brexit and fed up with
Westminster. It’s a mess.
Whatever people’s view on the European Union,
and however they voted on Brexit, it is obvious that
Westminster is broken.
Three years of political chaos has exposed that for
all to see.
There is no end in sight. A vote for the SNP at this
election offers an escape route for Scotland.
It’s a vote for Scotland’s right to choose our own
future in a new independence referendum.
Brexit is a disaster for Scotland
Brexit has destroyed the idea of the United Kingdom
as a partnership of equals.
Wales and England both voted to leave and under
the Boris Johnson deal will leave.
Northern Ireland is to get a special deal and the
right to choose its future.
The Tory Brexit deal will take Scotland out of the
EU, out of the Single Market and Customs Union,
all against our will.
That is unfair and anti-democratic.
Brexit will put barriers between our businesses and
the world’s largest single market.
It will make Scotland poorer, cost jobs, hit living
standards and threaten environmental standards
and workers’ rights.
The trade deal the Tories plan with Donald Trump
also risks opening the NHS up to US multinational
companies.
It risks opening our markets to chlorinated chicken
and hormone injected beef.
The Boris Johnson deal does not get Brexit done.
It will just herald the start of lengthy and complex
trade talks.
It opens the door to many more years of Brexit
dominating Westminster politics. And if trade talks
fail next year, or don’t reach a conclusion in time,
a no deal Brexit will be back on the table.
Scotland has the right to choose a better future.
Scotland – the nation of the UK with the highest
remain vote – is to get nothing.
