Reasons for Supporting the New Party

Unfortunately the only real growth industry in the North East in recent years has been drugs and I fully approve of the New Party’s proposals to tackle drug crime and to increase the resources of the Procurator Fiscal’s office. I also think that their policy to repatriate our territorial water makes a lot of sense. Scottish fishermen were sold down the water by the government and it is now incumbent on government to take remedial action.
