In their own words

John Swinney (First Minister of Scotland; Leader of the SNP) · Cost of living & child poverty
No one's opportunities should be determined by the circumstances they are born into, which is why this year's Programme for Government will prioritise measures focused on our single greatest priority of eradicating child poverty.

John Swinney (First Minister of Scotland; Leader of the SNP) · Families & early years
We already have a strong track record of improving the lives of children across Scotland, including through our game-changing Scottish Child Payment and expansion of early learning and childcare. This government's policies are estimated to keep 100,000 children out of relative poverty this year.

Stephen Flynn (Member for Aberdeen South; Scottish Cabinet Secretary) · Scottish independence & devolution
As we make this journey to independence, I believe that we need our strongest voices within Holyrood all pulling in the same direction. I believe that I can contribute as part of that process.
