The Scottish Government believes that an independent, sovereign Scotland is the best option for the country's future and that the people should be invited to support that option through a referendum.
The Government also recognises that there are a range of views on Scotland's constitutional future other than independence and that these are represented in the Scottish Parliament.
The National Conversation invites all shades of opinion to contribute to the constitutional debate so that the people of Scotland can make an informed decision on their future.
