I think traditional politics is increasingly irrelevant. For most of us, what really counts are our families, our friends, a job, a safe community, and to be left alone to enjoy our life without interference from politicians and bureaucrats.
Politics should be about ordinary, decent people doing what is right. I am proud to stand for the Equal Parenting Alliance, a new party aiming to restore dads, mums and grandparents to their proper place in children's lives.
Our party was formed because around half of children whose parents separate have no further meaningful relationship with one or other parent: usually dad, but occasionally mum. This practice of eliminating one or other parent was introduced by stealth, and it derives not from any need to protect children, but from a social experiment by Labour administrations to test the theory that fathers are unnecessary. See www.equal-parenting-scotland.com for details.
Our communities were the test-bed for this experiment, it failed, and we now struggle with increasingly disturbed behaviour by fatherless youngsters.
Vote for me. I have a real solution to anti-social behaviour. Others parties come up with expensive gimmicks, but I address its root cause: let dads and grandparents back into children's lives.
