HE has been a campaigner for independence and land reform for decades and since the 2014 referendum, solicitor Graeme McCormick (pictured) has devised a model of public funding from land and the built environment which can replace all existing UK, Scottish and local taxes.
A perfect exemplar of the Yes DIY spirit, for the past 18 months Graeme McCormick has presented his proposals around the country and has refined them in response to the comments made at each event.

He has updated his model to include a Universal Citizen’s Income of £200 per week for everyone in Scotland, while making Scotland an engine of enterprise and ambition and a true property-owning democracy.
Now McCormick is set to tell the people of Dundee all about his plans for land and tax reform at an event organised by the Dundonian Common Weal group – full details on Eventbrite.
They told The National: “His proposals are gaining widespread support among independence supporters as they wrest control of our economy from Westminster even under the current Devolution Settlement.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
