What FM Sturgeon advocates is unassailable goodness. I have no quarrel with her aspirational goals. The critical question is: How to achieve this? As she spoke, I couldn't help but feel that politicians today have displaced the preachers of yesteryear. Politics today has displaced the religious faiths of yesterday. That is dangerous. Governments can't lead us to this. Government needs to provide the necessary infrastructure of course but, unless that infrastructure (type; timing) is driven by free enterprise, we will quickly have the worst of all worlds - severe poverty. The realities measured by the GDP are absolutely fundamental to achieving the ideals we all share. We take our eye off that ball to our own peril.

Agree.

when people have clean nice looking spaces , companies that benefit the country and not billionaire greedy share holders , basic needs like water and electricity are fixed priced and owned by the country and when people can see jobs available around them where they can be useful and a feeling of advancement to the future with technologies then the aspect of mental health will basically take care of itself to the most.

A government that can give you everything can take everything away. -Gerald Ford

GDP is useful to determine the overall economic well being of a country, but I agree that it shouldn't be the single thing we look at as a whole. This talk though, it's not offering any hard definitions of what a national view of "well being" looks like or prescriptive measures to reach them. It's a lot of platitudes which are based in reality but not entirely useful either. You can't just say the goal of the government is to make people happy or concentrate on their populations well being and then not have an actual measure of well being outlined. The definition is that it's a general positive state among a group or an individual. How are we to define that or measure that. We can't survey people and ask them because they will always measure their feelings of well being in reference to others. The issue is politics messes it all up.

BaresarkSlayne The Scottish Government have produced a National Performance Framework- which is mentioned here but not explained fully. It is a very thorough and broad-ranging framework which defines a host of national indicators that the Scottish Government (and others if they are inclined) can measure and monitor, as well as focus on through specific projects, policies and funding. The framework is based on the UN’s Sustainable Development goals but puts these goals and ideas into a specifically Scottish context, as well as being more detailed in terms of what the overall goals actually mean in terms of tangible or measurable changes on a local or national level. The definitions exist (and include a whole range of things from education levels and income to measures of physical environment including low pollution and green space access)- they just haven’t been discussed here in any detail as I think the point was to argue that wellbeing is important and it CAN be a Governments’ focus, rather than explaining how to go about it specifically.

Dear prime minister: I pray that you country shall get one day it’s independence, so that you can leave this political version of a rectal bleeding that is brexit behind you.

As an American, I first one to say that I respect the tenacity in your speech. However, what I do think we need to not just half as a passing thought is the fact that automation is on the rise. The capitalistic grid locking in America will prevent this from ever being reality, but I do think that a forbiddance of mass-replacement of human beings by robotics in the workforce is something that should be seen as humanitarian crisis and handled accordingly. Outlawing companies from overturning their labor to machines and heavily regulating what can and cannot be regulated should be seen as a priority

Having people do things that a robot can do just as well if not better is such a waste of life. That’s all lost work hours which people could be spending on other meaningful activities.

Scotland is effectively bankrupt. Scotland {around 10% of the UK population) is responsible for 50% of the total UK deficit, about £25 billion pounds a year.

Well obviously but you have to get money out of politics in order for the people to make decisions for the benefit of the people and not for their pockets. So the talk should be on how to get money out of politics. lol
