Reform Scotland is an engine of ideas that helps stimulate and inform healthy debate across the country. As an independent and progressive source of ideas it has a vital role to play in helping to shape Scotland’s future.
Reform Scotland is a hugely important source of insight, innovation and challenge at a time when our policymakers, economy and society have never needed it more. We need strong and thoughtful voices enhancing the content of our national discourse on what we do next. Reform Scotland is one such voice and merits support.
Reform Scotland stands at the forefront of the Scottish thinktank scene. It provides thought-provoking research and world class events. Behind the scenes, it does admirable work in connecting up government, business, universities and other parts of Scottish public life. Reform Scotland provides a vital link between Holyrood and Westminster, which facilitates important dialogue. Reform Scotland has been revitalised over the last year and is an important contributor to the national conversation.
Difficult times demand hard thinking. We do not yet know the full impact Covid-19 will have on Scottish society and public life; we do know that it affords an opportunity to rethink, and perhaps refashion, the infrastructure underpinning public policy. Politicians and their advisers cannot do this on their own; the role of think tanks – with which Scotland is not over-burdened – is more important than ever. They are laboratories for fresh thinking; finding, pushing and testing new approaches to familiar challenges and new difficulties alike. Reform Scotland is one of our most important contributors to this process; a key player in imagining and then building an improved Scotland.
What I particularly like about Reform Scotland is their willingness to prompt respectful debate, to challenge established thinking, and to take commentary and ideas from a wide range of interests. They make a significant and worthwhile contribution to Scotland’s thinking about itself and the wider world.
As Scotland emerges from the Coronavirus crisis it will need fresh thinking and challenging policy proposals. Reform Scotland, with its influential work on the economy, health and education, should play an important role in this process. It deserves our support.
Especially just now, we need a non-partisan forum to think about how we emerge from this crisis. There’s never been more need to consider what we must do on the economy, health and education. Reform Scotland plays an important and much needed part in Scottish policy development.
As we seek to rebuild the economy and society our think tanks will play a valuable role. Reform Scotland is an important, influential and non-partisan source of policy thinking and debate.
As one of Scotland’s most prominent think tanks, Reform Scotland has consistently produced original and thought-provoking work, helping inform policymakers across the country. Now, more than ever, Scottish politics needs the independent thinking and ideas which Reform Scotland articulates so well. It’s a unique organisation in the Scottish political landscape and deserves our full support so it can continue to thrive for years to come.
Scotland needs fresh ideas and stimulating debate. If the education of our children is to compete with the best in the world we need honest analysis and higher standards. If we are to create the jobs and businesses of the future we need the skills and culture to match that ambition and a society built on social justice. Reform Scotland consistently challenges those in power to raise their sights and address these issues, provoking debate with new thinking and radical solutions.
