The Case for an Independent Socialist Scotland is a pamphlet written by Colin Fox and published by the Scottish Socialist Party in the run-up to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.[1] It was launched in the Scottish Parliament in September 2013[2][3] and soon became the party's best-selling pamphlet. Its publication was welcomed by eight MSPs.[4] In August 2014, the pamphlet was made available as a free download from the party website.[5]

This booklet sets out the Scottish Socialist Party's case for Scotland becoming a modern democratic republic with an elected head of state, operating outwith Nato and no longer possessing nuclear weapons.[6]
