John Langham is a founding member of the party, and has been the leader of the party since its inception.
The CLP identity themselves as a centre-right, classically liberal party. One of the party's fundamental principles is to install a democratically-elected head of state in a sovereign Scottish Republic and to end the current British Monarchy through the dissolution of the Union of the Crowns and the transition of the nation's unicameral Scottish Parliament towards a bicameral legislature.
The party is yet to contest an election, and thus is yet to hold a seat at Scottish, UK, European or local level. At UK elections, they have openly supported a tactical vote for the Scottish National Party.
As a relatively new party with a minimal membership base, they will be looking to grow this at the earliest available opportunity. They believe this is possible particularly due to the widespread coverage of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum which led to a surge in membership of the Scottish National Party, Scottish Green Party and Scottish Socialist Party.
The party logo is based on a combination of the Scottish Saltire and the colours and form of the thistle, Scotland's national flower.
