A local manifesto: Scotland in the World

Part 5 of the manifesto series.

The last election was dominated by questions about Scotland's place within the world.

While independence does not yet have majority support, few would wish to turn the clock back to a pre-devolution era. That said, it is clear that there is also support for reform of aspects of the current arrangement (as with all constitutional arrangements).

So the big questions include:

• Does Scotland need to engage more with the world and how does it do this?
• Is Scotland in Europe but outwith the UK ever a realistic option?
• What could be the role of the Scottish Conservatives in any future constitutional changes?
• Low tax low welfare Ireland or high-tax high welfare Scandanavia - which should Scotland aspire to?
  

I'm sure there are lots more issues - let me know what you think.
