SLRG – Focussing on Equality, Shared Prosperity and a Fair Society

Breaking the Constitutional Logjam

Scots seem little better off after decades of devolution.

In his 4-page paper, SLRG’s Ian Kirkwood responds to the call of the many who are perplexed to find Scotland and Scots still trapped in a socio-economic logjam.

Ian outlines the devolved Holyrood policy that would cause outrage at Westminster: a tax migration that would reverse the centuries-old outflow of people and resources from the periphery to the centre; from poor to rich; from Scotland to London and the Southeast. And so provoke a constitutional crisis to break the #RentSeeking logjam at the root of missing Scottish prosperity, poverty by location and embedded inequality.
