Trident is the UK nuclear weapons system

There are 4 nuclear submarines

Each sub has 8 missiles

Each missile can have 5 nuclear warheads (bombs)

Each bomb is 8 times as destructive as the Hiroshima bomb

In 1945, at Hiroshima, more than 140,000 civilians were killed

Nuclear weapons are immoral

Over the next 30 years, the UK Government wants to spend around £100 billion on a new Trident system

An independent Scotland would be nuclear free!

The setting up of a Scottish Parliament was a small step forward. But the big decisions that affect Scotland are still taken elsewhere.

Our elected parliament is powerless to stop young Scottish soldiers dying in the killing fields of Afghanistan.

It cannot tackle pensioner poverty or increase the pitifully low minimum wage. It has no control over the monstrous nuclear weapons of mass destruction stationed on the Clyde.

Our aim is to transform Scotland into an outward-looking, 21st century socialist democracy that puts people before profit.

Scotland is a wealthy country with a skilled, educated workforce and natural resources in abundance. 

Yet we live in a country that is scarred by poverty, low pay, decaying public services, sub-standard housing, ill health, crime, alcohol and hard drug abuse.

That’s because we have no real control over our own resources. Our land is owned by aristocratic lairds and absentee landlords.

Our oil, gas, electricity and transport are owned by business tycoons. Our financial institutions are controlled by millionaire bankers.

The SSP wants to build a new, socialist Scotland - a Scotland based on the principles of equality, peace, freedom, direct democracy, diversity, social ownership and wealth redistribution.
