Scottish Enterprise Party
- Scottish Enterprise Party
The Scottish Enterprise Party (SEP) 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.
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.
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, taking the view that Scotland's sovereignty is a matter solely for the people of Scotland. (see sovereignty of the UK Parliament).
The party first fielded candidates in the 2007 Scottish Parliamentary elections but has so far had no electoral success, obtaining only 1025 votes.
