The Scottish Heritage Party recognizes the unique history of Scotland's legal system restoring it back to its Christian Heritage under the Monarch of the United Kingdom bound by the Coronation Oath.

​

It is noticed by the Party however a lack of transparency in many cases, and so to address this we will insist that all members of the legal process must not be members of secretive closed order societies, but be fully committed to the overall Constitution of Great Britain that recognizes Scotland's unique position and heritage.

​

It is not considered consistent with the UK Nolan Principles of Government to have members of oath bearing secret societies involved with our legal and political systems, for if an elected or un-elected government official places him or herself under an oath of secrecy, how can that apply to serving in public life in a transparent way.

​

It is understood that there are times that it can be prudent to not let out state secrets in the context of military activity and national defence, our comments relating to everyday public life.

​

1. Selflessness

Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family or their friends.

2. Integrity

Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might influence them in the performance of their official duties.

3. Objectivity

In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit.

4. Accountability

Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public, and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.

5. Openness

Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions they take. They should give reasons for their decisions, and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands it.

6. Honesty

Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties, and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest.

7. Leadership

Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.

​

The Scottish Heritage Party therefore places great emphasis on Britain's "written constitution" when it comes to the application of law, looking for a caring society of justice rather than the "letter".

 

When it comes to tackling crime, the Scottish Heritage Party will restore local Police Forces as they were before the centralisation to Police Scotland with the new local councils being highly involved in the running of Police operations, the statistics showing us  a 12% non sexual violent crime increase in year 21-22 and 15% more sexual crime.

​

Statistics seem to show us that drug misuse seems to align itself with the crime ratios, Dundee City being the most violent place in Scotland also with the most drug misuse.

​

All this is outrageous and we need to get to the cause of this, all this coinciding from a major cultural change brought in by the SNP that it itself has coincided with a nation that was once God fearing becoming the centre of wretched drug abuse.

​

It is for these reasons we will be putting to the electorate whether or not they would like a Party that has a zero tolerance for drug abuse and crime. Whether or not we want a nation where we can walk the streets safely at night in our cities. Whether or not we want to learn from cities throughout the world that have tackled this problem and beat it!

​

1)  Bring about a nation with the best education system in the World as Singapore has today.

2)  Bring about a nation like Singapore has today that has diverse parts of its capital city with all getting on well with each other.

3)  Bring about a nation where crime and drug abuse is simply not tolerated. In 2021, the number of Singapore crimes committed for every 100,000 individuals was 847. In Dundee the figure is 807 crimes for 10,000 people. What a difference!

​

It shows it can be done but Singapore has harsh punishment for criminals, particularly drug criminals. We need to ask ourselves do we need to do the same, whilst accepting rehabilitation is important, we simply cannot go on with a legal system failing the people of Scotland.

​

In relation to youth crime, under the SNP-Green Alliance, this is getting out of hand with Police seemingly unable to do anything. An Scottish Heritage Party Government will not tolerate youth crime and will look to work with parents and Education departments in relation to a form of correction that will bring an end to this modern day disease of crime particularly from teenagers.
