General Election 2015
Manifesto
By declaring that the quest for Peace is the central issue in politics, the Peace Party has set a new standard through which all of the problems in society will be solved.
Putting our faith in the good nature of human beings and trusting in their ability to work hard together and as individuals to develop a more compassionate, a more idealistic, a more positive way forward, the Party is showing that we can do it!
Much of our political debate is conducted in a spirit of negativity, mistrust and hostility. The Peace Party believes that there is a better way, that people are capable of compassion, kindness and generosity and it is this belief that informs all of our policies.
The two areas that bring these ideas into sharpest focus are war and poverty. To put it simply, our ultimate objective is to eliminate both of these scourges and, in the process, release vast resources for the benefit of humanity.
With your help and the help of other peace movements throughout the world, we could radically improve the situation.
Foreign Affairs and Defence
We should focus on bringing PEACE and security to the world through dialogue, trade, co-operation and humanitarian assistance. This would be vastly superior to deploying military force. NO intervention in others' wars.
Climate Change
Our aim is to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide to help slow down global warming and climate change by fully developing all forms of non-polluting energy.
Poverty, Inequality
Our aim is to eliminate the huge and growing disparity in income between rich and poor. The structure of taxation will be changed to correct this grave injustice.
The UK is a rich country but many are forced to live in abject poverty. A basic income for all adults would allow everyone to have a decent standard of living and make a major contribution to solving social problems.
Education, including Schools
End student fees! Ensure that properly funded, free education at all levels is available for everyone throughout life.
Human Rights Act
All laws must be based on the basic human rights as defined by the European Convention on Human Rights which is itself based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Peace Party supports the Human Rights Act.
Race Relations and Immigration
Immigrants are not the problem! They enrich our culture and our economy and should be welcomed and celebrated. There must be compassionate and just policies on asylum and migration.
The Peace Party recognises that the political, social and economic circumstances leading to people leaving their homes are partially caused by the imbalances of wealth in Europe and beyond. We would seek ways to work with other countries in order to help treat the issue at its root.
National Health Service
The NHS is one of the best and most cost-effective in the world. It must continue to be fully funded by the government. NO privatisation - NO profits.
Housing
A housing programme should be in existence to ensure that everyone has a home of their own to rent or buy at prices they can afford.
