Constitution
The Scottish Labour manifesto pledges to oppose another independence referendum for the five years of the next parliament, while also seeking to secure further devolution of powers from Westminster, in particular regarding borrowing and employment rights.
The party aims to set up a Clean up Holyrood Commission to consult on the changes needed to strengthen the Scottish Parliament’s ability to hold the government to account and restore faith following the Alex Salmond affair.
Economy
As part of Scottish Labour s pledge to boost Scotland s economic recovery from the pandemic, the party wants to deliver a high street bailout plan with reduced business rates on non-grocery bricks and mortar shops and a taskforce to review the rates regime. A Business Restart Fund would also continue to support businesses facing financial hardship as a result of restrictions.
