Graham Simpson MSP has recently penned an essay for the Buchan Group, a policy network for Scottish Conservatives. His piece includes some radical thoughts and covers all sorts, from scrapping taxes to HS2 and lockdown. Please see a short extract below:
"We must set out a positive vision, with bold ideas as to how we would transform Scotland’s fortunes.
It is not enough to simply say things like, our priorities are your priorities. We must say what our priorities are and how we would go about implementing them.
But to arrive at a set of coherent polices it is useful – essential – to have a set of principles to help guide us to whatever conclusions we reach.
The first principle of Scottish Conservatism should be that we are enthusiastically for Scotland.
All our policies should be set against the test of what is best for Scotland, within the UK.
Hopefully, this and other pieces in this series will set in train a discussion and maybe even a debate."
The full essay is available on the Buchan Group website.
