  • Date lodged: Monday, 16 September 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-14524
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 18 September 2024

Motions as amended

That the Parliament agrees that the Scottish Government should use all its powers to build a modern, diverse, dynamic nation, and further agrees that it is only with all the powers of a normal independent nation that Scotland would truly be enabled to take its own decisions to fully meet the needs of the people of Scotland and create their best future, for example, by establishing a constitutional convention to allow the people of Scotland to decide matters such as whether they wish to retain the monarchy or adopt an elected head of state, by becoming a voice for peace and rejecting nuclear weapons, by re-joining the EU, by treating asylum seekers with humanity, and by committing to fairly tax wealth and rejecting 'trickle-down' economics to invest in a rapid and just transition to net zero.
