Democratic ambitions for Scotland (SNP Conference)

Join the discussion on how citizens in Scotland can have more control over how their country is run. In recent years there have been important campaigns for enhanced local democracy, increased lobbying transparency and for the use of Citizens’ Assemblies to aid in decision making. What role do these have in Scotland’s future?

This fringe will assess the state of Scottish democracy today and take into consideration the content of the second paper in the Building a New Scotland series, ‘Renewing Democracy Through Independence’.

Speakers:

• Angela Constance MSP
• Dr Malcolm Harvey

Chair: Jonathon Shafi

Breakfast rolls and tea/coffee provided.
