A TRULY RADICAL AGENDA FOR THE UK POLITICAL SCENE
1. Economy
We believe that we are at the dawning of a new paradigm that will be based on abundance, sharing and will not require currency. In order to transition as smoothly as possible we currently urgently need a set of pro-growth policies to stabilise the current collapsing paradigm. All of our policies set out below are pro growth as they simplify systems, which inherently creates investment, and they remove as much as possible the pointless ‘overheads’ that sap our current system. During the transition, Government expenditures cannot be reduced significantly, so any green notion of ‘post growth’ is untenable.
2. Government Debt
During the transition phase debt markets must function, and credibility be maintained. However a large proportion of UK debt instruments have been purchased by the Bank of England, and these should be cancelled. The BoE is state owned and any impediments to the above will be addressed with legislation.
3. Money & Debt slavery
We will dismantle the ‘Rothschild’ Banking Model. Currency will be Government issued without Debt. We will work towards the elimination of interest (usury) and evaluate Islamic Banking as a model. There is no question of dis-honouring existing commitments. Fractional reserve banking will be replaced with BoE direct loans into the Banking System.
4. Benefits System.
We will begin eliminating the welfare trap with a universal payment, funded through the tax system. Studies in Switzerland confirm feasibility, and most workers will not see a difference in their income. However administration of the above will be drastically cheaper than the current complex benefits system. This policy is pro-growth as it reduces the Government deficit, and will increase workforce participation.
5. Environment
We believe that global warming is a proven reality, and is occurring on every planet in our Solar System. We believe that the man-made co2 driven theory of warming is an un-proven theory. We will urgently initiate evaluation of:
-Molten Salt Thorium Reactors
-Cold Fusion
-Over Unity Energy Devices.(zero point/Kasimir Effect)
We believe that the huge investments in renewable energy are an expensive white elephant, lining the pockets of various large land owners, and this will be wound down. Reduction or elimination of the renewable energy tariffs will trigger more growth.
If possible, recent Nuclear contracts will be cancelled, as prices guaranteed are too high.
6. Genetically Modified Organisms.
The majority of organisms being promoted by large Corporate entities are modified purely to survive very high levels of pesticide & herbicide. This is inherently bad for the environment and will be banned. We will ban the creation of organisms that produce poisons within their tissues. Other proposed genetic modifications will be evaluated by a public body on a case by case basis. It is imperative that the science we have which indicates which substances are killing pollinators is acted upon and bans enforced where needed.
7. Taxation
In accordance with our pro growth policy taxation will be dramatically simplified to a single flat rate on all income (after the base state payment which will be tax free). This will be deducted on all receipts into each personal(non company) account by the Banks. This system will drastically reduce overhead on both Government and Business. Tax simplification promotes growth and reduces the need for expensive consultants.
8. The National Health System.
We believe that research has established the following:
- Different suppliers competing for contracts is inherently inefficient, as Health issues are usually multi faceted and require an integrated approach. Doctors are almost unanimous on this. Each time a health issue develops beyond the parameters of a contract, it would trigger a cascade of administration and invoicing. We believe that this inherent inefficiency is unaffordable.
- Abolishing the internal market will save £10 billion annually
- An integrated public NHS maximises economies of scale with regard to provision, facilities, purchasing etc. Insurance is an unaffordable luxury.
We will prevent the farcical situation whereby a contractor bids at a higher rate than the NHS, gets the business and then contracts the NHS to do the work. This smells corrupt!
We believe that large savings are possible by prioritising prevention with nutrition & lifestyle.
We believe that large savings are possible by moving away from a pharmaceutical dominated paradigm. Studies into cheaper alternatives will be actioned ASAP, and medical guidelines revised to reflect research and evidence in a less biased way.
9. Defence
We wish to see drastic reductions in global defence overhead by establishing a democratically accountable world defence system that will as a start point guarantee all existing borders. The international system needs to move away from economic warfare too.
We believe that the invasion of Iraq was illegal and a war crime & we will move for prosecutions.
We believe that the resources poured into destabilising various countries are an immoral waste. Libya urgent requires reparations, policing and funds to rebuild.
War crimes in Palestine cannot continue.
In the transition the UK should retain a small nuclear deterrent, but Trident should be cancelled ASAP.
10. Europe
We need an urgent review of the European constitution as we believe that it is undemocratic and lacks transparency and checks & balances. This should be conducted with our partners. If the issue is not remedied-ie the electorate of Europe is placed back in control of its Government we will recommend an in-out referendum.
In the interim we will ban Companies from recruiting abroad where sufficient labour is available within the UK.
11. Drugs Policy
Our recommendation after reviewing the research from Colorado and Portugal is blanket legalisation.
Evidence suggests that this will not trigger greater use of the more harmful substances but will facilitate access to more treatment for addicts, reducing the social impact.
We believe this approach will drastically reduce crime.
We believe this approach will increase UK Government tax take by approximately 5% while reducing the cost of Police & Prisons by 20%.
We believe in a blanket amnesty for all drug convicts. We believe that prohibition has been proven to be more toxic than the substances prohibited.
We believe that Cannabis oil will reduce the NHS drug bill.
12. UK Constitution
- We will establish an elected upper house based on proportional representation.
- We will move to a Republic with a ceremonial President. This position will be offered on a life basis to members of the Royal Family.
- The Royal Assets will be nationalised, and the Windsors will be thanked for their Service and generous retirement offered.
- We will review other Nobility held assets with a view to nationalisation or partial nationalisation where the assets have been inherited for more than 3 generations.
- Assets will be sold off to repay the National Debt.
- UK will receive a written constitution.
- We will propose much greater public consultation, transparency & used of referenda.
13 Education
Should the National finances improve sufficiently as a result of all the above innovations, we will move to abolish University fees.
Education will move away from dry academic subjects towards ethical citizenship.
Science & Engineering will be enhanced as far as possible
The Steiner system will be taken as a model.
The current Government has discouraged foreign students, to the UK’s detriment. This will be reversed and Universities freed to utilise income to enhance capacity.
13. 9-11
A full open hearing will be started. The UK lost 98 people on that tragic day. The truth of the situation will be established. The science and all available evidence will be examined in a full public transparent process.
14. Disclosure
We believe that there is sufficient evidence for the reality of Extra-terrestrial contact.
We believe that Governments are aware and hiding this fact and this is extremely suspicious.
We will, on election disclose all Government records on this matter. We believe that the people are adults and worthy of the truth.
15. Current proposed trade partnerships.
We will release all proposed treaties to a public enquiry.
16. The UK Paedophile Scandal
We will ensure that this is investigated fully, wherever it leads.
Amnesty & protection for whistle blowers will be considered.
17. Privatised State Utilities
We believe that the privatisation of Rail, Electricity & Water has been a disaster.
We will attempt to bring this back into public control, resources permitting.
18. Housing
The UK urgently needs a new approach to the Housing shortage. We are looking at a ‘lost generation’ of our youth, trapped in debt, and crippled by exploitative rents.
The left and right are trapped in their own ideologies and cannot help.
The free market approach has failed with small developers absorbed by large companies who hoard land because values matter more to them than income from construction. These Companies are further handicapped by the planning environment which is not fit for purpose.
On the left we have the desire to build thousands of tiny flats, but no resources to do so.
We propose a new quango with powers to by-pass planning restrictions, including some green belt.
This entity will have the power to compulsorily purchase land if it is being hoarded by a developer.
This entity will facilitate redevelopment in lower density areas using compulsory purchase.
Opportunities will be passed to housing associations with a remit to develop spacious flats on the European model , at high densities. Some to be sold to finance the projects. Some government seed funding will be diverted from the QE program. Housing associations will be assisted to issue fixed interest bonds to facilitate this.
For existing public housing , Australian style ‘percentage of income’ rents will apply. This will free up a lot of current housing for the neediest.
