Also... Each community is full of regional richness in history and knowledge and each community in Scotland with an independent Scotland should have Community Committee that all decisions of a community should not be political. There needs to be Community investment and voices at the table to promote and maintain the integrity of that community in its ability to sustain itself as a Scottish identity. For example while there may be commonalities amongst communities it's important to have people who are from communities contribute to the decisions of those particular communities. We don't want to become independent and have outsiders tell us how to run our business -we've already tried that it doesn't work we need people to be able to have invested interest in their own communities and have say on that... We know when Community engagement is authentic we see that commitment in community.
Also.. we need to have reparations
Also .. we need to have the redrawing of the national water lines to be put back where they were
Also.. in so much as it's possible... All lands wrongfully sold to foreigners by foreigners in particular England ..to be returned back to the Scottish people
