Scotland is changing. A new century is bringing with it new challenges and opportunities for the oldest nation in Europe. Not only are markets becoming globalised - political power is, too. A combination of big business interests and selfish political ambition is turning the EU into a political behemoth the likes of which hasn't been seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Our own Union with England is a relic of the colonial past which looks unlikely to see its 300th birthday as the Scottish people increasingly embrace the prospect of national freedom. A rising burden of taxation is crippling the Scottish economy and costing Scotland jobs at a time when we need to lower taxes in order to help Scotland compete in the global economy, Mass immigration is rapidly transforming the ancient nations of Europe, causing unprecedented social strains within the host countries. The old political parties have failed Scotland. They have failed to adequately address a single one of these issues. Instead of positive action for Scotland, they offer us slick sound-bites while they attempt to clamber up the greasy pole of power. Instead of meeting the needs of the Scottish people, the Establishment politicians are too busy knifing each other in the back as they struggle to safeguard their cushy jobs in the Scottish Parliament. When they do act, they are more likely to enact foolish, politically correct legislation - like the Section 28 fiasco - than to address the real concerns of the people who pay their salaries. The old parties have had their day. Their time is up. Clannasaor believes that Scotland and the Scottish people should be free. We believe that our nation should not be reduced to the status of an impoverished region of the Eurostate. We believe in government on a scale which ordinary people can relate to, not the bloated monstrosity that the European Union is becoming. We believe that immigration policy should reflect the interests of all of Scotland's people - of all races and ethnicities - and not simply serve the cheap-labour agenda of Big Business. Most of all, we believe that government should exist to do what is best for the Scottish people in every area of policy. The barren ideologies of the 20th century have no meaning in today's Scotland. Left and Right have become a sideshow to divert attention from the fact that the Establishment parties no longer reflect the views of the people. The 21st century can be Scotland's century: a time of national renewal and progress. We can thrive as a modern nation in the global economy without diluting our distinctive culture and heritage. We can accept the good things which the rest of the world has to offer while rejecting the bad... But to make that happen, we need to work together. Join Clannasaor. |
