Remain consistent with the rest of the UK
It makes no sense for us to have different rules to the rest of the UK. We should have the same rules.
Why the contribution is important
If england lifts.lockdown and we do not what happens to grandparent who live cross border? What about people who love in one and work in the other? And what happens financially? The uk government wont keep paying for furlough in Scotland once they lift their restrictions and we cant afford it! Plus its confusing enough. This isn't the time or place for political points or proving a point or being different for the sake of it.

Following UK policy up until now has been disastrous.
If Science and medical advice says we need to have different policy, then different policy we should have. There is nothing confusing about this, in fact its very very simple. If you live in Scotland you follow Scottish rules, if you live in England you follow English rules. If you live in Scotland and work in England, then you follow Scottish rules at home and English rules at work and vice versa , just like you would do if working in any other country outside Scotland.

If Scotland needs to take a different path due to having a different set of circumstances then that’s what’s right to do, no one is politicising it except those that want to undermine the fact that Scotland is a country.

Scotland's approach MUST follow the science and evidence for the people of Scotland not simply adhere to whatever is decided based on the much larger population and epidemiology of England.
If there is 1 more unnecessary death or even infection as a result of simply following England this is simply immoral.

Instead of coming together and acting to work with and support the UNITED Kingdom, this government has taken every opportunity to show division from the UK.
Trying to score political points at the expense of national unity
