This is a letter I have drafted to send out to my local papers with a view to starting a new political party, if anyone is interested just let me know. I'm putting it up here for others to read:-
'As leaders and politicians around the world have shown they
lack the intellect, understanding and integrity to care for and protect the
people, especially from predatory global elites who seek to monitor and control
us, and deprive us of our freedom and autonomy, I am proposing the creation of
a new political party. This party will not be based on any ideology of left or
right, nationalist, republican, unionist, communist or fascist but will be a
party based on providing the necessities for a life of quality for all the
people.
This party will be called the PCC Party – that stands for
People, Community, Country which will be the order of care and priority. Our
manifesto will be based on the practical needs of the people and the practical
realities of life. It is all very well to dream of a better way of living but
we need to take practical steps to make it happen based on reality and not
ideology.
These are some of the proposals I have drafted in order to
begin the conversation around creating a new political structure and way of
working.
I propose:
·
The abolition of the House of Lords to be
replaced by a council of seniors who will be nominated by the people for their
wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
·
Ministers will be appointed by merit. For
example, the Minister for Education will be someone with many years’ experience
in the field of education and who has the knowledge and skills to decide common
policy and devise a curriculum to ensure our children are not just taught but
educated.
·
Politicians will not be allowed to stand for a
constituency if they are not a permanent resident of that constituency. For no
one knows the needs of community better than those who live there.
·
An environmental policy that cares for the people
and the environment, based on science and not on the false propaganda of
corporations, dishonest politicians and vested interests.
·
A cap on wealth, as we have seen and experienced
how the accumulation of vast stores of wealth has led to the corruption of the
political, economic, and health and social fabric of our society.
·
The creation of an independent body to ensure
transparency in the body politic and the media, to investigate and expose
possible instances of corruption by vested interests in shaping government
policy.
If you are interested in any of these and want to join the
conversation then please contact me at :
