Synopsis

"Democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the others that have been tried", according to Winston Churchill. This statement is considered an affirmation of democracy, when in fact it should be a challenge to develop a better political system. That is the challenge I set myself in writing "Thoughts on a Constitution", using Scotland as a suitable example of a small nation, and one where discussions about a constitution are taking place with the possibility of independence.

At the same time as proposing fundamental political reforms, I address the need for a new economic system to replace the current failing socio-economic system. This constitution dispenses with politicians, political parties and large corporations, creating an opportunity for the People to strive towards a Good Society with ethical guidance supplied by the Scottish Enlightenment's Moral Sense philosophers.
