- The Scottish Family Party

As well as being a great source of joy, family life underpins our society.

The state should not seek to supplant the fundamental role of the family in bringing up children and should refrain from interfering in family life.

Instead, the state should be supporting families to enable them to provide for themselves, structure their family life according to their priorities, and bring up children according to their values.

Scotland faces many apparently intractable problems: poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, youth mental health issues, and cycles of crime.

Family breakdown fuels these and many more problems.

Promoting marriage and the benefits of stable families should form part of relationship education in schools rather than pandering to special interest/lobby groups who have colonised the Curriculum for Excellence.

Strong families make for a strong nation. Please vote Scottish Family Party.
