Scottish and UK politics is broken, it desperately needs fixed. The future of Scotland will be centre stage, but so will our democracy and the future of a Union in decline.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"u73SOd\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"okZB9d\"\u003eOur politics once again needs to inspire, enthuse, educate and be relevant to the needs and aspirations of the public and reconnect with the values that underpin our society. There are urgent issues that we need to deal with now – the most important of which being rampant inequality. We have to move away from the mindless tribalism and partisanship that too often dominates much of what passes as political debate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"vwqrYl\"\u003eOver the past year it has become clear that regardless of their stance on the referendum debate, the Scottish people are united on one front, the yearning for change for the betterment of their nation, their institutions and their politics. For McLeish, the referendum debate is merely the beginning. It is a symptom of the need for a more fundamental shift in the way we engage with politics in the UK and Scotland today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"x9vxjU\"\u003eFormer First Minister of Scotland, Henry McLeish is well placed to diagnose the crisis at the heart of Scotland and UK politics. In \u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"C3WJGY\"\u003eRethinking Our Politics\u003c\/em\u003e McLeish looks critically at the conditions which have created an increasingly divided and alienated public and forged Scotland’s yearning for radical change. He rails against the stagnation of the union and makes a rousing and persuasive case for a complete overhaul of our political thinking, demanding that instead of making decisions on the basis of fear and insecurity, we rediscover the founding moral purpose of government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"urjgnN\"\u003eThis is a must read for those who care about the future of our nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Scottish voices\u003c\/strong\u003e and captivating narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich cultural heritage\u003c\/strong\u003e woven throughout every page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press\u003c\/strong\u003e, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstantly accessible\u003c\/strong\u003e through The Grey Hill App.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRT HON HENRY McLEISH began his political career as an elected member in local government in 1974, and was leader of Fife Regional Council for five years.
