Under a system where the

British Constitution and the authority of Westminster is supreme over all others,

our Core Values are :

Europe:

We want the United Kingdom to trade and have good relations with our friends and neighbours in Europe, as indeed with the rest of the world, but we do not want to be governed from Brussels. We want to be a free, independent, sovereign country that is governed by our people in our own Parliament in Westminster. Therefore we aim to end Britain’s membership of the European Union after receiving the backing of the British people and replace it with a free trading agreement, which is what people believed they were voting for in the 1975 referendum.

A Fair Society:

We believe in a country that is based on the concepts of justice and fairness. Fairness is not about wealth redistribution. It is about hard work, achievement and honesty being rewarded not crime, fraud and idleness.

A Tax System That Encourages Hard Work:

We believe in a tax system where there is no benefit to work in the black economy and where those on incomes under £15,000 would pay no tax. The tax bands would be phased so that no-one earning £100,000 or less per annum would pay any more tax than currently. (For very high wage earners over £125,000 per annum we would consider raising the income tax to 48%. Note that this was our policy and has now been adopted by Labour by imposing 50% income tax above £150,000 per annum.)

A Welfare System That Supports the Needy But Not Idleness or Fraud:

We believe in a welfare state that provides a decent living pension and provides a safety net to those in genuine need. The welfare system would be reformed so that it could never be manipulated to create a life choice. The reform to the tax system would reduce the need for as many top up benefits and reduce the fraud in the system.

Society Where Individuals Take Responsibility, But Look After Those In Genuine Need:

We believe in a country where individuals are encouraged and helped to take responsibility for their own lives – but which is compassionate towards the weak, vulnerable and those in genuine need who cannot help themselves.

A Country Which Controls Immigration:

We believe in an immigration system that is controlled so only genuine immigrant workers with skills that are required are accepted. We should only take our proportion of asylum seekers along with the rest of our European neighbours. Immigrants will need to be financially independant and will have no immediate rights to housing, welfare or health services provided by the state.

An Education System That Delivers Skills and Behaviours Required by the Country:

We believe in an education system where the teachers are allowed to control the classroom, that teaches respect and decency along with striving for excellence and diligence in study. We would allow Grammar schools to be reinstated where there is local support. We would also support more involvement in learning practical skills at an earlier age for those who are not academically minded.

Smaller Government, Which Represents Your Wishes, And Gives You The Right To a Say In Local And National Referendums:

We believe in a country with smaller but more representative government, where people can have a much greater say than at present in decisions which affect them, including the right to trigger local and national referendums.

Proper Respect For The Law; Deterrent Sentences For Criminals :

We believe in a country which preserves and promotes law and order, which promotes respect for the law, which places a high value on the prevention of crime, and where the consequences of crime are rapid conviction and deterrent sentences. Prisons should act as a deterrent, not like currently where they are seen as a holiday camp. Sentences should be served in full. There should be no early release after half the sentence has been served.

Policies To Promote Marriage And Stable Families :

We believe in a country, which promotes the family unit as a key basis for a well-ordered and stable society, whilst allowing those who prefer to live alternative lifestyles to pursue them if they wish.

A Country That Preserves It's Christian Heritage, Whilst Allowing Complete Freedom Of Belief Under The Law:

We believe in a country which recognises and preserves its Christian heritage, but which also recognises the right to complete freedom of faith or belief and tolerates those of other religious faiths or beliefs.

The Four Nations Of The U.K. Running Their Own Affairs - To The Extent That They Wish To:

We believe in a country where each nation within it - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - has the ability to run those affairs its people wish to run for themselves.

A Country Committed to Sound Environmental, Energy and Recycling Policies:

We believe in a country self-sufficient in energy terms so we are not reliant on oil and gas from the Middle East and Russia. Expansion into all renewable energies would be vigorously pursued. We would aim to eradicate landfill by recycling and using other waste to provide energy.

Speaking Up For The British Way Of Life:

We shall openly and fearlessly speak up for Britain and the British way of life and in everything the Party does - every policy, every political initiative, every decision - we shall be guided only by what is in the interests of the hard working British people. Political Correctness would be a thing of the past.

Telling The Truth:

We shall always strive to be truthful and not consciously deceive or mislead.
