Where We Stand
No
less than the creation of a European Nation State in the spirit of brotherhood and European kinship.
That this Europe a Nation be embraced by all Europeans
and to supersede and replace the EU and all other such arrangements.
The creation of an insulated European economy based on a partnership of syndicalism and private
enterprise. Europe is a large enough area to become independent of international competition. We can then develop the
European home market to consume our own production.
Opportunity for all and privilege for none. All shall serve the European community
of peoples. The wage price mechanism shall control wages and prices as the standard of living improves. Wages shall
be regulated on an equal level throughout Europe.
The
establishment of occupational franchise whereby the electorate of a European government shall be represented by trades, professions
and social groupings. An end to the sham of party politics and the career politician.
The government of Europe a Nation shall guarantee the rights of
individual member states. These rights include cultural and social issues peculiar to these member states. The Flemish, the
Scots, the Basques, etc, shall find truer representation within the greater strength of the Union of Europe. We oppose any idea of a "melting pot" on the American model.
The creation of an independent European defence force subject
to an independent European foreign policy. European arms are for European defence only. The United States must retreat to
within its own borders while we establish friendly relations with all Arab and Muslim countries, our natural allies in the
Middle East, and former European colonies and protectorates.
The preservation of civil and religious liberties. No one must be discriminated against on grounds
of religious belief, a religious faith being the personal choice of all.
A return to a strict penal code whereby justice is seen to be done. A national debate on
capital punishment. Let the people decide.
Withdrawal
from all existing global agencies, including the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund. The world should be organised as
larger federations which should convene on an equal level on a regular basis. This will bring an end to the "security
council" of privileged nations. All countries shall have security against invasion from another. This will mean an end
to war.
The development of agricultural
communities in order to grow all our own foodstuffs to keep a healthy population on the land. A surplus will be used to feed
the hungry of the world instead of the present waste and destruction dictated by international competition.
Free health care and education for all. Health care will
include the promotion of physical sport on a European scale. A European Games should be established to encourage competition
between member states.
An end to
the open system of asylum and the immediate return of all illegal immigrants and those immigrants who have committed imprisonable
offences to their lands of origin. Europe shall act as one in order to guard our borders against further influxes of
extra-European peoples.
A common
currency for Europe for the purposes of exchange. In an insulated European economy this will facilitate equilibrium and an
end to the racket of the money markets.
Our
complete support to the Palestinian people and their right to a Palestinian state shall define our policy in the Middle East.
The withdrawal of all British and
other European military forces from Iraq and Afghanistan. An end to further military co-operation with the United States.
