...Canavan said: "I strongly welcome the Common Weal initiative. This is the kind of creative thinking which can ensure that an independent Scotland is based on sound economics, as well as sound principles of social justice. "I urge individuals and organisations to respond to the invitation to submit ideas which will contribute to the Common Weal vision, thereby helping to build a fairer Scotland, where wealth is not only created but is used to benefit all the people." A spokesman for the pro-Union Better Together campaign said: "The SNP's vision for a separate Scotland is to hand over control of welfare, currency, savings, mortgages and much else to a foreign government without any Scottish representation at all. It's little wonder that people across the political spectrum find the SNP's plans so unappealing." We moderate all comments on HeraldScotland on either a pre-moderated or post-moderated basis.
