Scottish Peoples Charter

We need Change.  We need Hope.
We need a fair Scotland and a Britain.

A fair economy for a fairer society
Progressive taxes without loopholes or tax havens.  We must own and control the main banks.  Guarantee all pensions, mortgages and savings.  Tie pensions and benefits to wages.  Give pensioners free transport and heating.  Increase the minimum wage.

More and better jobs
Defend and improve employment.  Make a massive investment in new jobs particularly in green technology for our childrens’ sake.

Decent homes for all
Create 250,000 new publicly owned homes in Scotland over the next five years.  Stop the repossessions.  Control rents.

Save and improve our services
Energy, Telecommunications, Water and Transport to be owned by all of us.  Remove profit making from the NHS.  Support our public service staff.

For fairness and justice
Equality for all.  Together against all racism and discrimination.  Equal pay for women.  End child poverty.  Give young people a future.  Free child and youth facilities, education and training for all.  Repeal the anti-trade union laws to fight poverty and inequality.

A better future starts now
No more blood and money for war.  Bring the troops home.  No more £billions for nuclear weapons. No replacement for Trident. We want massive investment for a greener, safer world.  Get rid of the debt economy in Britain and cancel the debts of the poor of the planet.
