Highlands and Islands List announced

26 March 2011

The Scottish Christian Party list of candidates for the Highlands and Islands Region has been announced.

There are eight candidates drawn from across the Region, from Shetland, Stornoway and Skye to represent the islands, to the Highlands mainland centre in Inverness.

The leader of the Scottish Christian Party, Dr Donald Boyd, will also contest the new Inverness and Nairn constituency.

Candidates for the Regional List:

1. Dr Donald Boyd, Inverness
2. Isobel Macleod, Skye
3. Alasdair Mackenzie, Stornoway
4. Alasdair Moodie, Inverness
5. Andrew Shearer, Shetland
6. David Forbes, Dingwall
7. Barry Cormack, Wick
8. Donald John Morrison, Inverness

Highlands and Islands is one of the Regions where the SCP hopes to return its first MSP to give a distinctly Christian Voice to Scottish politics. If each person who voted for the SCP last time would recruit just one more voter then it will have electoral success in the Highlands and Islands and possibly in Central Region. However there are enough Christians in Scotland for the Christian voice to succeed in every Region in Scotland. Which will be the first Region in Scotland to have a Scottish Christian Party MSP? The race is on.

The manifesto will be available on this website as its features are rolled out during the election campaign.

If you wish to be on the roll-out emailing list, please let us know here.

Stop homosexual 'marriage'

The Scottish Government consultation about redefining marriage to include homosexual couples has finished. The documentation is explained here. Christians are encouraged to write to their MSPs to register their opposition to any legislation along this line, and to write to the 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.

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.

Help for the small man

We will fight for the consumer, forgotten in this climate of spending cuts but rising prices. 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.
