British Party, Economic Prosperity

Prosperity in Britain

A functional economy offering work and a fair salary to the British People can be the only basis to economic prosperity, the reason for this being that the People are a part of the Country. A country cannot prosper if a part of its people are excluded from prosperity. As this ideal should apply to all countries, so too to Britain.

Whenever one government is involved in trying to solve all the problems of the world, it will fail, as this is not its task. To be a good example by administering to the needs of the home country and its people is by far better, as it is an example for other countries to follow if they wish. One government has enough to do when administering to the country and people for whom it has been elected.

The Union and Citizens' Rights

Britain's economic prosperity must be based on citizens' rights, and these rights must be guaranteed within the Constitution. The rights of citizens to partake in economic prosperity may not be diminished, and no attempt may ever be made to supplant the British People with another ethnic group.

The Constitution must be that of one Nation of the British Isles with four constituent countries, each with their own national identity. The Union of four equal countries would leave open the option for Ireland to be a united constituent country of the British Isles. This is optional, the other option being special and privileged relations between Britain, including Northern Ireland, and Eire.

Members or descendants of one constituent country can live in another constituent country while maintaining their original national identity, and at the same time can be part of the identity of the constituent country they or their parents chose to live in.

Commonwealth

A Commonwealth of special relationship between Britain – or a Union of the British Isles – and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, based on reciprocal terms, could offer great benefits to the member states.

Cooperation with other countries should not come about in the form of a commonwealth or a union, but as between different countries and nations.

No foreign parliament could ever dictate laws to the United Kingdom, not even if British delegates are part of such foreign parliament.

British Party, Speculation in the Economy

Speculation in the Economy

Britain must work towards an economy free of any kind of speculation. Wherever speculation is a driving force in economic planning, it will lead to injustice. The fruit of honest labour paid for with a fair salary should be at the basis of the economy, with no space for any kind of easy profit.

Quick profit is usually the result of planned speculation, whereby people's incomes and savings are drawn upon by another entity in an excessive manner, or work is paid for with a low salary.

Britain's economy is presently obsessed with speculation, leading to many forms of injustice, such as evicting hard-working people from their home owing to high mortgages and employing non-British people in factories for the minimum wage, deliberately consigning millions of British citizens to unemployment, as they could not live on the minimum wage, or are not as physically fit as competitors from countries where a much lower minimum wage is the norm.

Private Sector Discrimination Equals Speculation

Private sector employers who speculate on the age, health and ethnic origin of the workers they intend to employ, and work out miserable salary conditions in order to increase their personal profits, are largely responsible for the economic injustice that is consigning millions of people to a future of uncertainty and deprivation in Britain.

Rich people strive to become richer, and those who are very rich know no end to their quest for personal assets. This is basically the result of speculation thriving on hard-working people, driving many into personal financial ruin or unemployment.

British Party, Local Economic Administration

Local Economic Administration Board

Each county would have an economic administration board responsible for promoting and safeguarding the local economy according to nationally approved standards. The central county economic administration board would have an office in each district within the county.

Functions of the board would include ensuring that vacant jobs are offered to local citizens and that under no circumstances priority is given to foreign nationals.

Creating Local Economic Production

The board would also be responsible for creating new production sites in industry and agriculture whenever demand on the national and international markets would justify such move, and providing there is a need to create work for locally unemployed people.

The administration of new productive sites would be offered to people with skills in the relevant trade, and the centres of production, whether or not they are privately owned, cannot be transferred abroad.

The creation of new production sites through county economic administration boards would further require central coordination at national level, ensuring that agricultural and industrial production is fairly distributed nationwide.

The county economic administration board would also provide training courses to help local citizens find work in the available spheres of economy.

British Party, House Prices

House Prices

The housing market should be regulated following a policy of commodity prices based on real value. An accommodation would be valued according to all its individual components and their condition. Therefore, the bricks and cement comprising a property have a set value, as do the windows and doors, staircases, floorboards and roof tiles. Indeed nothing within the property could be valued above its reasonable market price, including the cost of installation for water, gas and electricity. Every individual component that constitutes the property would add up to the accommodation's full value, or real value, including the land it is situated on.

Increased Value on House Prices

Increased value of a property owing to location, the surrounding neighbourhood conditions and any other external factors, should not exceed a set percentage of the property's real value, for example 10-15%. House prices must not be driven by any other market forces. The housing market must not be subject to speculation.

Who Should Determine the Prices of Individual Houses?

The valuation of an accommodation for sale would have to be examined and approved by an official and competent office.

British Party, Public Transport

Electric Traction on Public Transport

Britain should place priority in offering Public transport using electric traction, with trains and buses designed and built in British factories. The use of diesel engines on public means of transport would be gradually replaced, and fares for trains and buses would be significantly reduced to encourage people to make use of clean transport.

State Funding for Public Transport

A basic part of the cost of public transport would be supplied monthly from the budget to cover a part of the expenses of service providers, to enable them to maintain low fares for the public.

A transport contribution, or tax, would be calculated according to personal income, so that higher incomes contribute a higher amount.

British Party, Economic Policies: Small Industry

Small Industry

Economic production should be distributed on a local basis through small factories employing tens or hundreds of people rather than concentrated in very large establishments. Skilled individuals should be allowed to commence their own enterprise, preferably as members of a guild that ensures adherence to quality and fair trade.

Local industry should be protected from unfair competition from abroad, for example when imported manufacture does not comply with moral standards of production or has been obtained through a considerably lower wage than paid in Britain.

Men and women must be paid the same wage for the same work, and a flexible employment policy should allow both part time and full time employment.
