Britain needs a new people's Party – What should it stand for?
There seems a degree of agreement that the nation needs a new party of the people that transcends the left – right political axis; what ten key aims would such a party stand FOR? Over to you, but here are my starting suggestions -
- Small state and the rule of law; a balance between central and local control
- Greater democratic control by a variety of democratic forms for each democratic tier, as appropriate
- Patriotic, not nationalistic; A Britain Internationalist in trade and outlook, but not subservient to Globalism
- A focus on the little platoons that will help build a strong and congruent British national identity
- Fairness, justice and equity both within and between the generations
- Pride in our values, confidence in our cause
- Sustainable and practical use of our land, seas and assets
- A nation slow to rouse, but strong to bite
NB being clear about what a party stands for implies those things it is against – they need never be stated explicitly. Negative aims turn people off.
(Uhm, I'm not volunteering to start one.)
