Chancellor: 1400 reasons why we바카라 사이트re better off together
As part of the UK, Scotland바카라 사이트s finances are stronger 바카라 사이트 the Treasury calculates every year this is worth Β£1400 for every person in Scotland.
We all want the best for our country. The last few years haven바카라 사이트t been easy. Turning around Britain바카라 사이트s 바카라 사이트 and Scotland바카라 사이트s 바카라 사이트 fortunes has been a collective effort taking time, hard work and sacrifice from millions of people. Today there is a real sense that Britain is once again on the rise.
Get the facts on the Scottish independence referendum.
The UK is forecast to recover faster than every other major economy in the G7. Within the UK, Scotland has more people in work than at any time in its history.
I바카라 사이트m ambitious for Britain and for Scotland too. That바카라 사이트s why the government바카라 사이트s long term economic plan is for all parts of our United Kingdom. There바카라 사이트s more we need to do to build a country where there are jobs and opportunities for all, including buying a home of your own. Over 1000 people in Scotland have bought a new home through the UK government바카라 사이트s scheme.
In September people in Scotland will take a very big decision 바카라 사이트 whether to stay within the UK or go it alone. Today바카라 사이트s generation of voters will be making a choice for themselves, but also for their children and future generations to come.
The UK is the greatest family of nations on earth. We work, trade and live together. And we pull together when times are tough. I don바카라 사이트t want to weaken our economic strength by dividing it with a border.
The referendum is a choice between two very different visions of Scotland바카라 사이트s future.
A Scotland that has its own strong parliament running schools, hospitals and other vital services with more powers to decide taxes on the way, while keeping the security of being part of a larger UK 바카라 사이트 the best of both worlds.
Or a Scotland committed to breaking its present links by leaving the UK for good for a more costly, complicated and uncertain future 바카라 사이트 a leap into the unknown.
Scotland is a wealthy country 바카라 사이트 achieved by 300 years of working in partnership within the UK. For me this is an argument for Scotland staying, not going. Together we coped with the global financial crisis. Now just as our economy is turning a corner, do we want to spend years focusing on the consequences of a divorce? I hope instead that we can confidently face the future together.
Together we can better manage volatile and falling income from the North Sea. And pensions and public services for people living longer are more affordable when we spread their costs across the whole UK.
The broad shoulders of the UK have proved their worth. The independent forecasts for oil revenues made in 2010 have since been revised down by more than Β£20 billion. At the same time, instead of cutting spending on health and education, the Scottish government has seen its budget increased by more than Β£2 billion 바카라 사이트 one of the many reasons why we바카라 사이트re better off together.
Those who want a separate Scotland must explain how it would work and what the price would be. The First Minister of Scotland and the Scottish government refuse to be open with people about its real risks and costs. In an interview yesterday, the Cabinet Secretary for finance, employment and sustainable growth for the Scottish government was asked 11 times to say what would be the cost of setting up a separate Scottish state. He couldn바카라 사이트t or wouldn바카라 사이트t say. Why would you buy anything from someone who refuses to tell you the price?
This week the UK government has published the most comprehensive analysis of the finances of an independent Scotland. This analysis is in line with what other independent experts are saying. And whereas nationalists바카라 사이트 calculations are rooted in the past, ours are focused on the future.
The conclusion is clear. As part of the UK, Scotland바카라 사이트s finances are much stronger. Scotland바카라 사이트s taxes are lower and public spending is higher. The Treasury calculates that every year this is worth Β£1400 for every person in Scotland.
That바카라 사이트s the UK dividend 바카라 사이트 1,400 reasons why we바카라 사이트re better off together.
