The Young Scots for Independence (YSI) is committed to empowering other young people in Scotland. We believe in other people and what we can achieve by working together. We look to harness and grow the abilities of young Scots and the extraordinary potential of future generations. As open-minded, tolerant, proud global citizens we are inspired by what the 21st century can bring. The YSI aim to be well informed and welcome intellectual engagement and debate. The YSI believe in self-determination so that as a country we can be responsible and accountable for ourselves and so the Scottish people can have their voices heard in the international community. We strive for independence because we believe in democracy, as a system and as a virtue. We campaign so that the Scottish Parliament can represent and respond to the priorities, values and aspirations of the Scottish people, on every issue and at every level and strive for social justice. In this age of globalisation, it is only with financial and fiscal powers that Scotland can become a fairer and more successful country within our lifetimes.
