 The Populist Party is localist, is ecologist, as we aim to create a small-scale economy, in which small business, small farms and co-ops predominate. One where we make the goods we use, live within our means and treat nature with respect; where people have the chance to work locally with job security in locally owned firms. One that protects the Green Belt from greedy developers, but also tackles the cause of housing shortages - overpopulation due to open borders. That's TRUE Green thinking.... Imagine producing a majority of goods at home, rather than importing. Replacing factory farms with local/family owned farms. Not being dependent upon overseas fuel. No longer being in the stranglehold of the multinational corporation that threatens to disinvest when Government doesn't do its bidding! As for "off-the-grid" living.. don't even mention that to the powers that be! Supporting self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and thrift to prevent personal debt. Imagine a main party that, for once, supprorted the Third Economic Sector, the Independent Small Trader, self-employed and co-operatives. One that proposed that people used local credit unions, rather than online banks? What if that same party backed local intiatives such as setting aside more allotments and farmland where land is available? Grow your own and save money. Or defending pubs by scrapping duty on British brewed alcohol. The old parties would never agree to that; they want you in the chain stores, run by their donors! And they wouldn't support LETS (local exchange trading schemes) that use a unique (interest-free) local currency on which all trade is based, because that too would take people out of the debt-based economy and free them to use their skills without involving the bankers!

The Populist Party is a UK registered political party who contest elections with the aim of bringing about a Populist Government for Great Britain. A party where there is no "parachuting in" of "high-profile" candidates over those who have worked hard to elect their locally chosen candidate who has "worked their patch" over the previous 4 years. A party with no central candidate list, where members can operate locally without the heavy hand of HQ telling them how to campaign, and whom to choose as candidates. We are a ‘people-centred’ party who oppose the financial elite, which commercialises everything, which corrupts those whom we elect to Parliament. Which dominates our political life. The Populist Party has meetings around the country where members and guests can discuss and debate how the Party can move forward. New members are always made to feel welcome. We have annual elections for our Executive. A united Executive that rejects ego led politics, that does not rely excessively on their leader to show the way. We must ALL be leaders in our localities.... Please contact us at askus@populistparty.co.uk for more information about all local campaigns. Populist PartyMade by the people, for the people |
