We believe that the people of Scotland should have the right to self determination for their future with an independent country. Together we can create a prosperous society, where education and health care are an essential and equal right to all, not simply for those than can afford it.

We stand for the ancient principle that in Scotland, the people are sovereign.

• Monarchs/parliaments and politicians are the servants of the people, not self-appointed dictators;
• Profit is okay, but not greed;
• Reward is fine, but not avarice;
• Trade is essential, but exploitation is not.

As an independent country we can set in motion a new age of Enlightenment; not just as patriots of Scotland, but as patriots of the cause for a democratic, socially just, and an Enlightened society. We believe we should stand independently alongside our neighbours in these celtic islands as United Kingdoms, in synergy and strength, in friendship and common values.

One day soon Scotland will become a new and proud nation, with a people united in the the belief that there is a better way, a greener way and a fairer way. We have all the ingredients of a very successful country in absolutely every sense of the word, all we need now is the will and determination of the Scottish people to achieve this.

We seek to nurture and develop that will, to share ideas, to identify state bias and injustice under the staus quo.
