12 point plan for a Scottish Socialist Republic

We want Scotland’s wealth shared out more equally


The rich will pay higher taxes

Our public services, including oil, fuel and transport, will be publicly owned

Our minimum wage right now would be £8 an hour

Wages, benefits and pensions will rise by £50 a week, across the board

All our school children will get nutritious free school meals

Supermarket prices will be frozen

Women will get equal pay for equal work

Young people will get the same national minimum wage as everyone else

Nuclear weapons will be banned from Scottish territory

The council tax will be scrapped in favour of a local tax where the rich pay their fair share

Free public transport will be brought in to ease congestion, pollution and global warming

Our young troops will be brought home from the killing fields of Iraq and Afghanistan
