Scottish Libertarianism.. more thoughts..
Hi www
Last month I wrote an article on my thoughts of Scottish Libertarianism (see here)
I would like to expand on this, with an interpretation of what my brand (and hopefully yours after reading) .. my brand of Scottish Libertarianism is.
Truthfully
I am a SNP lifelong voter, and have most of my life voted Green for my second vote. If in a independent Scotland, our states are reinstated.. with a commission board responsible for holding the councils to account, I would use my third vote for a Scottish Libertarian Commissioner to Strathclyde so long as they would assure the below. I may even switch my second vote to SLP, providing the Scottish people are allowed free electricity via green means.
I will vote SNP for my local council, as it is important that those who are in authority local (council) are in one mind with the government due to budget concerns and vice versa. But a Commision Board holding the local authorities to account and again, entrusted with value assurance.
Mission Statement
I posit, the worth and morality of Scottish Libertarianism is in value for money. That it is the righteous duty of every SLP officer in any style of governance, to take to task those who would abuse the consumer, that SLP officers are required, nay, honor bound, to defend the individual against such corporations and banks.
The Sick, Disabled and Elderly *must* be cared for, and cared for well with reimbursement, by this the SLP signal to the whole world, Scottish Libertarians too are moral.
No other party currently looks towards value for money.. come with me as I open your eyes:
The Right To A House of Usable Means
Housing is the single greatest purchase we will make in our entire lives, so then are we getting value for money? We are slaves to our debt and must maintain working until the debt is paid or forfeit our investment. Currently banks and property development companies treat the consumer as a walking wallet.. a fool.
We are working to live to death in our own coffins, as house sizes are so insulting they may as well be showboxes with a lightbulb.
The SLP's duty should always be to provide value for money housing.. ensuring that we do not live in slums, but other parties ensure we do not live in slums, they provide clean affordable housing, but that housing is so small and expensive (in relation to value) those parties and not providing for the people and so not empowering the people. As a minimum I would like to see housing that has at least 1 half acre of land and the right to build as you please on your own land.
The Right To Afford A Suitable Bed
Before anyone says this is a frivolous addition, we spend 1/3rd of our lives in bed. It is important for humans to be able to rest.. take it from someone disabled with sleep apnoea, who is agony most if not all of the time. I struggle and struggle to afford a suitable bed. Most want £2000, although cheaper ones are available, they are not suitable.
*(I am 6'4'', need a soft mattress with a interlocking spring base, tuned correctly.)
The Right to Transportation
Transportation is one of if not thee most important personal liberty in Scotland; Scotland has the vast Highlands and the Scottish people's right to be empowered to cross it.
I suggest EV roads, that run alongside cycle paths. Classed as 'C' roads, with their own speed limits. (max 15.5mph = 70mph motorway) and charge points.
I suggest that from 12 years old, EV (Electric Vehicles) limited to 15.5mph but unlimited in torq* be availed to every school goer. The Vehicle, a mix between a car and bicycle can be purchased from the government via a layway scheme. Lo-Jacked (GPS Tracker chipped) and electronic clamped in case of theft.
From 14 years old, every pupil is expected to be taught and gain their driving licence. Americans called it 'Drivers Ed.' .
This is just one 'brick'.. a cornerstone in making sure the Scottish people are not poor. I need a garage to keep my EV in. Larger housing with more transportation.Multiple types of vehicle, one for each need and type.. the children need to visit a friend? they each have EVs (with passenger seat) and have specific C roads they can use and be safe. Need to go shopping? Use the EV car. Need to go out of town to another city? Use a Hydrogen based vehicle.
So long as the initial energy to diffuse the hydrogen in the water is Green, the only waste by product is water.
The Scottish people need to be able to spread out, to have the homes we wish and deserve and for that.. we need transport. For every man,woman and child of Scotland.

The Right to Free Electricity
In my last article I said this:
"The Scottish Greens are I feel a moral party.. but they bang on about the environment, which is important, without thinking about the average person.
If the Scottish Green were to provide free electricity to all of Scotland's citizens via green means.. then who could care how the electricity is generated? We stop getting a say because we no longer pay for it.. and so then they could generate that electricity via green means and the average citizen wouldn't have to care.
This would be for private citizens only and not businesses."
Think how empowering it would be for the people of Scotland to benefit from our natural resources in such a personal way! Scotland has just under 1/3rd of all Europe's not just the Kingdom's.. but Europe's green energy. Each citizen is charged a year maintenance fee to pay for the workers that keep the green machines going.. imagine something like £100 per year at the start of February (Start of January is not a good time but the next month). £100 per household and each business keeping a meter as it is now.
For the SLP.. think on this.. no other party offers the Scottish people access to their own resources, it should be little more than a courtesy to do so.. but it seems no party has even thought of such a thing!
The rest of the energy, along with other natural resources is sold like any commodity and the money is used to look after the the sick, disabled and elderly. (except land.. land should always be only for the people of Scotland and should never be sold off again.. we are aware of our history and that we should never repeat it)
Taking Businesses To Task
Is the duty of the SLP to provide personal empowerment for each and every Scottish Citizen.. and to do this, those who would seek to empty the wallets of those citizens, unjustly and unfairly, it is the duty in my estimation for every SLP officer to take such businesses to task, ringing them short and I would hope you agree.
peace
