    Devolution isn't working, and we have a proven alternative in the form of the Scottish Office. It's time to scrap Holyrood and bring back the Scottish Office, saving £100 Million yearly to spend on the NHS and education instead! Back Abolish with your 2nd vote if you agree!

    We NEED an anti-devolution voice! A major PanelBase poll put support for scrapping Holyrood at 22%. We need 5-6% of list votes to win vital seats off the Greens - that's just 1 in every 4 of those who want to abolish Holyrood, and just their 2nd vote. 🔹

    Today, power is in your hands. You have the power to vote out this disastrous SNP-Green coalition government; and the historic opportunity to vote against the chaotic, unworkable and anti-Union devolution experiment, for the first time since Blair's 1997 referendum.

    "It has become clear that devolution is incompatible with the Union. The past twenty years have proven it to be a motorway towards so-called ‘independence’, just like Tam Dalyell warned."

    Devolution has been a disaster for Scotland and for the Union. We're having to pay £100 Million every single year for it! That's enough to fund 1,000 nurses and 1,000 teachers, and still have millions left over to reverse cuts and ditch SNP tax hikes.

    Holyrood is a waste of money. I regret voting for Holyrood in 1997.

    Devolution was part of Blair's disastrous attempt to federalise the UK, so he could integrate it more easily into the EU. Post-Brexit, it's time to scrap devolution and rid ourselves of another disastrous Blair-era legacy.

    Over two decades on from Blair's 1997 referendum, it is clear for all to see that devolution has not - as New Labour promised us - "killed nationalism stone dead". It's had the very opposite effect.

    Sturgeon, Swinney and Humza Yousaf are all being paid lavish six-figure salaries to run Scotland into the ground. The Scottish parliament's £100,000,000 annual bill could fund 1,000 teachers and 1,000 nurses for Scotland, if it wasn't being squandered on a bloated tier of govt.

    Devolution has of course been a disaster for all of Scotland and for the unity of the UK as a whole. This letter by Callum Buchanan, our lead candidate for the North East, offers some thoughts on devolution's unique failings in his home region.

    "There are increasing calls for the Scottish Parliament to be abolished. It was a Blair experiment, it has run its course, and has justified the thoughts of many who were sceptical about the wisdom of setting it up in the first place."

    We're top of every regional list ballot paper in Scotland this Thursday. It's a major achievement for a new party to cover all of Scotland in their first election! If you agree we need an anti-devolution voice, back with your 2nd vote!

    Do you agree devolution is an expensive, divisive, failed Blair-era experiment? Do you agree that Holyrood's annual bill of £100 Million is an absolute disgrace? If you agree, back with your regional list vote this Thursday!

    "Powers have been transferred from Westminster and local govt to Holyrood; yet at no point has Holyrood returned powers to Westminster or implemented any meaningful devolution to local govt. Devolution is a process; and an entirely one-way, lop-sided one."
