Publican Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Publican Party is a minor political party in Scotland, formed to fight the now active blanket ban on smoking in "public places" (such as bars, restaurants, etc). The party was founded in March 2005 in Inverness, Highland, by two publicans, Kit Fraser and Don Lawson, and claims that in the last General Election it helped oust the sitting local Labour MP by winning 1.5% of the vote in a close-run contest. The party have no real policies apart from the aforementioned fight against the smoking ban.
The party contested four regional seats in the Scottish Parliament election, 2007, receiving 5,905 votes.
