Stop adulterating marriage

5 Feb 2013: The Westminster Government has introduced its Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill to redefine, or rather adulterate, marriage.

40,000 teachers face the sack over changing marriage.

Willie Bain, MP, Glasgow North East, said that the Westminster Bill will affect Scotland.

No Highlands and Islands MP spoke up in support of traditional marriage.

Christians are encouraged to write to their MPs and MSPs to register their opposition to any legislation along this line, and to write to the Westminster and SNP Government to encourage them to drop this idea.

We already have polygamy recognised by UK legislation. The SCP response to the SNP Government's consultation is available for download.

14 Jun 2012: The SCP Response to “Equal civil marriage”, the Westminster Government’s consultation document.

The Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast

21 Jan 2013: Guest Speaker Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the author of "The Harbinger", calls America to repentance instead of its current defiance. He quoted Abraham Lincoln: "Those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord", and George Washington's words on 30/4/1789: "The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself hath ordained."

Local Council elections 3rd May 2012

Do you have a SCP candidate in your area? If you do, give your first vote to the SCP, and if he or she does not succeed, your vote will not be wasted because it will automatically transfer to your next viable choice.
This means that your choice will count twice. This may not work if you do it the other way round; a second vote for the SCP will simply not register if the SCP candidate does not have enough number 1 votes.
If you want a SCP candidate in your area at the next election, prepare now, in good time, and read about the process here.

Prominent Lib Dem resignation

Islamic terror

Youcef Nadarkhani received a death sentence in Iran for apostasy (abandoning Islam - which he says he never followed). He is currently on trial in Rasht. He could be executed by hanging at any time. Over 50,000 people have already emailed the Iranian embassies around the world – add your voice to theirs and deliver Nadarkhani. SCP website details.

Re-elect or Resurrect?

We have a Vision for Scotland which develops the north's resources as a future driving force for Scottish productivity and trade.

Help for the small man

We fight for the consumer, forgotten in this climate of spending cuts but rising prices. We put the consumer at the heart of our policies. We propose a radical solution to consumer debt to help the consumer by forcing more prudent lending policies. It is too easy to hold consumers to ransom.
