The
British National Party is proud to be in possession of some of the most
modern and progressive concepts of democracy which are firmly at odds
with the other parties’ increasing totalitarianism.
The British
people invented modern Parliamentary democracy. Yet in recent years the
British people have been denied their democratic rights. On issue after
issue, the views of the majority of British people have been ignored
and overridden by a politically correct elite which thinks it knows
best.
On immigration, on capital punishment, on the surrender of
British sovereignty to the EU and in numerous other areas, democracy
has been absent as Labour, Tories and Lib-Dems conspire in election
after election to offer the British people no real choice on such vital
issues.
The BNP exists to give the British people that choice,
and thus to restore and defend the basic democratic rights we have all
been denied. We favour more democracy, not less, at national, regional
and local levels.
Power should be devolved to the lowest level possible so that local communities can make decisions which affect them.
We will remove legal curbs on freedom of speech imposed by successive Governments over the last 40 years.
We will implement a Bill of Rights guaranteeing fundamental freedoms to the British people.
We
will ensure that ordinary British people have real democratic power
over their own lives and that Government, local and national, is truly
accountable to the people who elect it. |
