The High chief Éimhear Dearbháil Scott has promised a "radical new era of progressive politics in Strathae." In her acceptance speech Eimhear promised to support a progressive tax system through LESTHO thats moderate but still business friendly. She promised to fix the nations reputation abroad by pursuing a more progressive policy , making hate crime laws less extreme by defining hate crime as "harassment, bullying, incitement of violence or threats based on ones race , gender or sexuality." Also in her platform she promised to decriminalise adultery though all assets of the the adulterer would still go to the partner if the partner requested so.Also in her platform she announced welfare would be reformed to help the poorest more while stripping benefits off the rich , a referendum on immigration with the options of 15 year marraige or 15 year residency on the ballot to be held in early 1581.The final major proposals is lowering cash requirements for work permits in Kathmore and MacCarmaig as well as looking at joining more international friendship treaties and banning non-cooperative chain stores from opening past 17:30 outside of shopping centres and restricting construction of shopping centres to 1 per 100,000 of the population with population area to be took into account. The party is also to propose restricting retail chains to a maximum of 1 non-coop chains per village and 10 per town outside of Kathmore and MacCarmaig in order to encourage local small business.The party also proposes in the tax system that co-ops and SME's should get a 5% lower corporation tax than businesses earning over $1 million in profit. The PoT and CSP have vowed to come back from this defeat and analysts say it is highly likely they will have to leave anti-disconnection laws in place.
