About me
🟦 Independence, sovereign Scotland, by the people. Genuine self-governance means decisions are made here, for us, and not handed down from Westminster.
​
🔶 Community Wellbeing People first. Policy with heart. We prioritise mental health, family support, education, and access to care — because thriving starts locally.
​
🟩 Energy Justice Power to the people — literally. Community-owned renewables, affordable bills, and a just transition that serves the land and its people.
​
🟧 Housing for All: Safe, warm, dignified homes. Regenerating communities with affordable, sustainable housing and tenant-first policies.
​
💜 Soulful Leadership Integrity. Vision. Courage. We lead with values, not ego. Transparent, grounded, and rooted in service to the people.
I’m Denise Sommerville – a passionate community leader, mother, and advocate for a fairer, independent Scotland. I’m standing as an Independent candidate to bring real change rooted in lived experience, integrity, and grassroots renewal. I believe in putting people before party politics, and I’m committed to championing local voices, protecting public services, and leading a just transition to a sustainable future. Independence is at the heart of my mission—because only through self-determination can Scotland unlock its full potential. With compassion and courage, I’m offering a fresh, principled alternative to the status quo. Let’s build a better Scotland together.
