Scottish Christian Party praises Independent Councillors
• Christian Constitution of
Scotland: The Scottish Christian Party
highlights the irresponsible failure of the SNP to say what
will happen to the Christian Constitution of Scotland if the
Treaty of Union 1707 is broken.
The Scottish public deserves
to know this before an Election in which the pundits
think the SNP may form the next administration; but the SNP has
not addressed the question publicly far less provided any
answers.
• Education: To give real choice we
will campaign for an Educational Voucher Scheme, sex education
on a parental opt-in basis, a daily act of Christian worship
with Bible reading, and no obligation to promote other
faiths.
Creationism and Intelligent Design will be
considered alongside Evolution in science classes.
• Economic Development: Less
reliance on fossil fuels, with increased emphasis on
self-sustainability. Investment in new nuclear
plants must be matched by investment in research and
development for nuclear waste solutions.
Explore the
potential of water export, and effective extraction of North
Sea oil with infrastructure designed to be adapted afterwards
for marine renewable projects.
• Housing: Affordable housing earmarked as Local Family Housing.
• Gambling: Opposition to super casinos.
• Elected Police & Fire chiefs: The role of the Police and Fire Service does not involve marching in uniform, or handing out leaflets, at Gay parades. We believe they should be maintaining law and order impartially, and fighting fires. Electing chiefs will ensure accountability.
• Freedom of conscience, of speech and of public preaching: We will address the imbalance in law concerning giving and taking offence, and the oppressive emphasis in diversity training.
• Drugs: Zero tolerance on illegal drugs.
