You Tube: SNP 2006 Conference - It's Time
Transcript
Alex Salmond:
As I travel around our country hearing people's views it is clear that
Scotland is at a turning point. More and more I'm told "it's time", time to take
a fresh direction, time for Scotland to make progress.
After 8 years of devolution Scots want to reach a new and higher level.
Scots are aware of the success of our neighbours, independent nations like
Ireland and Norway. People know that with the right policies and strong
leadership, we have the ability and resources to match these success
stories.
I agree. For Scotland to flourish, Scotland's economy must be free from
London control. We must have our own voice in the world. Scotland can and must
be safer with more local police, fairer with our cut in local taxes, and
healthier with local hospitals kept open. Our young people should have the best
start in life. Our older people should have the respect that they deserve.
That is why the SNP has been working hard. Listening to what people care
about. Gearing up to deliver progress. Progress for Scotland.
With your support the Scottish National Party can deliver the policies to
ensure a bright future for all of Scotland. There are 202 days until the
election next May. Scotland has had enough of Labour. They've had their chance.
But now the clock is ticking.
It's time for the SNP.
It's time for a parliament with real power. It's time for strong
leadership.
Nicola Sturgeon:
It's time for a government Scotland can trust.
Alex Salmond:
It's time. Time for the SNP.
The comments on You Tube in relation to this video are great.
JHunter22 says:
Whoever says we're too wee does not know Europe at all. Scotland is bigger than eight states of the EU at the moment, and that includes Ireland. At a pinch, we're comparable with Denmark, Finland and Slovakia, and they even have their own languages.
darrencassidy says:
The SNP's economic policies have received unanimous support from top business leaders and entrepreneurs. Recent by-election victories with huge vote swings & opinion polls are proof of the SNP's rising popularity. Scotland needs independence, there are no two ways about it.¶ 13:14
