Contested deletion
[edit]This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because around a million voters will have the opportunity to vote for Restore Scotland at the forthcoming Scottish Parliament election. It will be the only party standing in the election that opposes both independence from the UK and EU. It has been endorsed by a range of significant Scottish political figures, and has standing for it the former leader of the Free Scotland Party, and head of the Scottish Sovereignty Movement.
Of relevance also is the fact that comparable parties have existing pages, including parties of similar age All For Unity, and even parties that are not standing candidates in the forthcoming Scottish Parliament election, e.g. Action for Independence, Independence for Scotland Party, or who are standing fewer candidates, e.g. Scotia Future. Removing the page will create deadlinks elsewhere, as Restore Scotland is standing both in constituencies and in the regions. Orthorhombic, 21:49, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Restoration of page
[edit]I started working on my own draft for the party (now called Sovereignty Scotland) but I came across this deleted page through DuckDuckGo. I think that this article should be restored so that it may be added to.
As Orthorhombic has pointed out, there are parties of comparable note that have their own pages. The party has contested elections and is now wishing to stand in 17 constituencies and two electoral regions in the 2026 general election. Voters in these constituencies (especially those who support independence from both the UK and EU) will wish to find out about the party and this article would be a place for them to start.
They have a serious manifesto (unlike the Monster Raving Looney Party which is given their own article) and have regular meetings for members where policies are discussed and voted on. David McHutchon, the party leader, has continued to appear for interviews, including on BBC Scotland.
If this article is restored then I will add to it complete with citations, as Orthorhombic has done. JackMiller786 (talk) 11:40, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
