Under consideration PE2239: Convene a Parliamentary Inquiry into Pre-Establishing Scotland's Statehood Infrastructure
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to establish an independent, cross-party committee inquiry to examine the feasibility, legislative requirements, and framework for pre-establishing a shadow Treasury, a standalone Central Bank, and a codified Written Constitution.
Background information
I believe that the UK Government systematically denies Scotland’s democratic mandates. To break this deadlock and ensure day-one security, the Scottish Parliament must use its committee powers to examine a strategy of "pre-building the state" to maximize public and international confidence. We urge the Parliament to convene an independent inquiry to assess how Scotland can bypass political self-interest and establish a codified, unalterable Written Constitution. This inquiry should evaluate the framework for embedding three vital pillars:
• Shadow Infrastructure: Pre-establishing a Scottish Treasury, a Central Bank, and a full revenue agency to manage all national taxation before transition;
• Electoral Reforms: Embedding compulsory voting and introducing strict term limits on regional List MSPs to ensure direct accountability; and
• Resource Protection: Legally mandating a Norway-style Sovereign Wealth Fund to permanently ring-fence our renewable energy and oil revenues.
