A Rally For Change
OSF organiser Ross Newton reflects on the successful Stronger Scotland, Better Britain rally.
Our Work
We campaign for a better Scotland in a renewed Britain. We believe that the best way to start doing this is by talking to and listening to people – whether or not they agree with us.
Everyone is welcome to come to our events where you can hear what we think and (more importantly) share your views on the future of Scotland with us and others. We are always looking for people to write about big ideas on the changes they want to see in Scotland for our website ScotlandCan. In addition to this we regularly publish research on how better co-operation can improve life in Scotland, and polling on what the Scottish public think.
Events
If you love Scotland and want to remain part of the UK; if you want to debate Scotland’s future on the basis of mutual understanding and common-ground, and if you want to represent a movement that stands for the values we’re proud to share, please join us at one of our upcoming events.
Scotland in a Zoom
We’re bringing people from across Scotland together who disagree on our country’s future to see if there’s a plan we all might agree on to take us forward. You can read our report on the findings of this ground-breaking new project that brought together scores of Yes and No voters from across Scotland here.
“Scotland in a Zoom” encouraged voters on both sides of the constitutional debate to actively listen and positively engage with each other, before seeing where they could find consensus on a path forward for the country.
More than 80 voters from across Scotland took part in the virtual project in February and March this year, in groups of twelve over Zoom. You can find out more and sign up to take part in future sessions here.
News
The Alliance for Radical Democratic Change is to be welcomed
As we head into the third decade of the 21st Century, it is high time that we enacted devolution comprehensively within England, and in so doing create the conditions in which a new, stable isles-wide partnership of modern states, the ‘solidarity union’ described by Mark Drakeford, could become a reality, to address the challenges and opportunities of our generation and beyond.
Press Release: Leaders to Form New Alliance to Change UK
Press release on the creation of the Alliance for Radical Democratic Change, with joint comments from Gordon Brown, Mark Drakeford, Anas Sarwar, Tracy Brabin and Andy Burnham.
Ideas
ScotlandCan is a campaign run and owned by the Our Scottish Future think-tank. We publish research papers, opinion, and reportage which sets out an agenda for progressive change for our devolved Scottish Parliament.
ScotlandCan sources contributions from experts, front-line workers, journalists and young people. Our aim is to create a fresh debate about the potential for change through devolution and to provide fresh thinking for all political parties at Holyrood.
Join us.
