Standing up for the Scottish Borders
About Us
The Borders Party is the only party dedicated solely to the well-being of the Scottish Borders and its people. We have evolved out of a combination of campaign groups, business people, community councillors and many others who do not feel that the region's best interests are currently best represented.
The Local Plan which proposes massive changes to the Borders has been drawn up without meaningful consultation. Against this background we successfully contested the local elections in May 2007 and two councillors from the Borders Party were elected.
We are not affiliated to any political party as we believe that national politics have no place in local government. Our members come from all walks of life across the Borders.

The views expressed on this blog are not official Border Party Policy. They are the opinions of individuals, which are posted for the stimulation of discussion and the exchange of views.

Borderers need to wake up! Now is the time to make our views known to the Scottish Government.
There is no use moaning later when Scottish Borders affairs are being run by a small group whose main concern is the development of Edinburgh.
Wake up Borderers or you will sleep into being a suburb of Edinburgh.
