09/09/2014 Referendum Campaign Broadcast

We're a great country,

built by the struggles and determination of our people,

guided by our unshakeable values.

We fought for justice in the shipyards and in the mills...

..solidarity here and abroad...

..equality at work and at home.

What we share has always counted for more than what separates us.

We've always have the guts to stand up and fight for what was right,

clearing the slums and creating the NHS...

..the minimum wage, state pensions,

working tax credits,

rights for workers and families,

and we shared the cost.

Not just among five million people but among 63 million people.

We know there is nowhere better

but we understand that there is something bigger.

When Donald Dewar announced there shall be a Scottish Parliament

he started building a modern, democratic Scotland

as part of a changing UK...

..and that journey continues.

In just a few days we have the chance to choose progress,

to stand up for security,

keeping the pound

and keeping the defences we rely on.

To stand up for our families,

defending the one million jobs linked to the UK

that give opportunities for us and our children.

For progress, with our strong Scottish Parliament.

We don't need to be a separate nation to be a better nation.

I love Scotland, it's as simple as that.

I'm proud of our history and our culture.

I'm proud we created a Scottish Parliament.

I'm proud we're increasing the parliament's powers

and I'm proud too that we share and co-operate

as part of the United Kingdom. And that means more jobs,

better healthcare, higher pensions, more security.

I'm proud we stand for social justice.

Our unity is our strength, and I'm voting for my children's future

and all Scottish children's future,

and that's why I'm voting No.
