Strikingly even current conservative voters are most likely to say it’s best for UK national security to align with the EU - along with majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Green voters while Reform voters are more likely to say it’s safer with the Commonwealth/CANZUK or the US

Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.
The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.
Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

Five years ago, we introduced the Scottish Child Payment.
Thanks to our actions, child poverty in Scotland is the lowest in the UK - and we’re going further by introducing a £40 payment for babies under the age of one.
Let’s keep building a fairer Scotland. On 7 May, vote SNP.
