Scottish Enterprise Party (SEP)
The Scottish Enterprise Party is a
Scottish centre-right pro-business party supportive of Scottish independence. It
was formed in July 2004 to provide an alternative for centrist and
right-of-centre voters who support independence. It intends to field candidates
for the 2007 Scottish Parliamentary elections. The party opposes Scottish
membership of the European Union and any prospective membership of the Euro, it
supports the principle of a constitutional monarchy and elections conducted
through the Single Transferable Vote. SEP also supports the NATO Alliance.
The SEP takes the constitutional view
that, unlike in England where sovereignty traditionally resides with parliament,
in Scotland sovereignty constitutionally resides with the people, as set out in
the Declaration of Arbroath. For this reason, the party does not seek
representation in the parliament of the United Kingdom at Westminster, taking
the view that Scotland's sovereignty is a matter solely for the people of
Scotland.
