I just came across the Social Democratic Party website and had a look at their policy pages. Among the policies listed the call for an English Parliament caught my eye. On the same “Constitution” page was advocated the abolition of the House of Lords, proportional representation and a statement saying “No public sector employee should be paid more than the Prime Minister”. Any English patriot should be delighted with such policies!
Reading further I was delighted to find that on animal welfare the SDP calls for a ban on non-stun slaughter “as requested by the British Veterinary Association and the RSPCA”.
The SDP advocate a cap on net AND gross immigration while current arbitrary spending on Foreign Aid would be scrapped - a common sense approach to both issues.
On land the railways would be re-nationalised and funding for regional and rural bus travel would be increased. Meanwhile at sea the Royal Navy’s aircraft carriers appear to have top priority with regard to defence spending.
The Social Democratic Party seem to me to be a patriotic community-centric party with a social conscience which believes not in nationalism, but nationhood with the nation state being independent of the European Union.
I will seriously consider voting for them if given the chance, and if I was not too old I might even be tempted to join them!
