Low Taxes. Cutting wasteful public expenditure and increasing efficiency will fund substantial tax cuts whilst improving public services. Our target is a low, flat-rate tax system covering individuals and businesses alike. School Choice. School vouchers to enhance choice, empower parents and drive up standards. We believe in diversity and flexibility in the school system to encourage excellence and to nurture the talents of all. Choice and excellence should not be the preserve of the wealthy. Health Reform. Transform the health service by giving everyone private medical insurance to access quality healthcare wherever and whenever it may be needed. Stimulate Enterprise. Get rid of unnecessary regulations, cut business rates and reward investment to enable Scotland to achieve its full potential. Cutting Back the State. Scotland loses billions of pounds every year to ill-conceived projects, duplication and inefficiency. We would set public spending levels in line with other leading economies. Tackling Crime. Many areas are plagued by vandalism, drugs, and anti-social behaviour. We will boost the aspirations of the young by improving their education and reintroduce proper community policing. We believe in small government, individual liberty and free enterprise. Only the Scottish Progressives offer a serious agenda for reform.
