Scott has followed politics since a young age. He is a lifelong believer in localism and people being empowered to take control of their own lives. Since 2015 he has been disappointed in major national parties using national issues in local politics. Scott thinks that where possible problems should always be solved as close to the affected people as possible. Scott has campaigned for both the alternative vote referendum in 2011 and the EU referendum in 2016 believing that it’s never wrong to ask the electorate. Scott is very keen to promote a low tax environment which makes it easy to do business while supporting and encouraging business to do social good. Scott’s key values are: individual liberty, equality under the law and localism.
