Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..

Additional Legislation

Shortly before our triumph at the election, I published a list of proposals for our new Government to consider
In their future planned legislative programme (see A Shopping Basket on my link).
There is one more “Important” issue that I would like to add to my list, namely an alternative Exclusively Scottish
Honours System. My idea of the format of the of the scheme would be.that, although similar to the English system,
It will adhere to the principles of a Democratic Republic; in other words there will be no reference to “Titular
Presentation”. In itself it will be “Totally Transparent”. The awards will only be entrusted to both men and women
Who have made a “Positive Contribution” to the culture of our country?

Further to the above, as we develop into an Independent Nation we will have to make a considerable decision on
The structure of our Parliamentary Constitution. There are many examples of the two-tiered discipline, we must
Avoid the incorporation of the English method of running their country, with its “PROVEN” track record of
Corruption including “Cash for Honours”

Obviously the second part of my narrative is some way down the line; however steps should be implemented to proceed
With the drawing up of a “New Scottish Constitution”.(It brings a tear to my eye as I write these words down).
There will have to be a comprehensive consultation process o0n deciding the system to best suit our wee country.
Lessons can be learned from the disastrous years of the Blair/Brown Regime; blatant examples are the massive increase in not only the Civil Service also the dramatic increase in the role of Quangos and consultancy agencies.

These are only the thoughts of an ordinary humble septuagenarian, who happens to be passionate about the future of his Nation..
