WITH UNITED OPPOSITION THE TORY BREXIT PLOT WILL UNRAVELHere is the MANIFESTO FOR A REFORM BREMAIN ALLIANCE IN GENERAL ELECTION ON DECEMBER 12, 2019 - which we sent to all progressive political leaders
Rationale: In this most important general election for decades, the UK voters have several stark choices: do we want to leave the EU or not ? Do we accept Scottish independence and all that will follow from that ? Do we accept the right of Northern Ireland and Scotland to decide their own democratic futures inside or outside the UK and the EU ? It is our belief that only a reforming progressive alliance of parties all pledged to reverse and prevent Brexit can defeat the Conservative Party, who have taken us to the very brink of leaving the EU. This in turn has pushed forward the momentum of Scottish independence that is now almost unstoppable. Only an entirely new written constitution for the whole UK might persuade the Scottish voters to remain inside the UK. Brexit has shocked the normally quiescent British voters into unrivalled activism and anger. Years of Tory austerities have awakened the liberal and social democratic and socialist conscience of our nation and millions and millions of voters throughout the UK are determined to stop Brexit, hold a second democratic referendum on this issue, and to end years of Tory austerity, and to prioritise a Green New Deal where we readjust our relationship to nature as a whole and prevent further environmental catastrophes. This Manifesto, if adopted by all reformist and Bremain parties, would lead to their not standing against each other in the forthcoming general election and would lead to a Tory defeat and the coming into power of a reformist alliance of progressive parties who could stop Brexit (democratically), see justice done against law breakers (in the 2016 referendum), write and agree a written constitution for the UK, let Scotland have her second independence referendum, and prioritise peace and justice for the UK’s foreign and domestic policy agenda, and insist on the veracity of parliamentarians henceforth by law. These are momentous proposals for momentous times. To demand anything less is foolish in these end-full times. SUGGESTED GOVERNING PRINCIPLES FOR THE BREMAIN PACT OF PROGRESSIVE REFORMIST PARTIES IN THE UK GENERAL ELECTION DECEMBER 12, 2019 1.Suggestion that Bremain parties and election candidates form a Bremain Alliance and agree to stand only one authorised candidate in each constituency, this would (could) include candidates from the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, the Labour Party, SNP Plaid Cymru, Change UK, the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). Even some unionist candidates in Northern Ireland might back the Bremain Alliance, along with some more moderate Conservatives. Might have to be negotiated at grass roots level in some cases. If individual MP candidates agree to back this Manifesto, and more than one per constituency does, then the official Bremain Alliance candidate would be the one whose party won most votes last general election in 2017 (or the last time the seat was fought for). Easy to work out. 2. Whichever of these parties came first at the last general election, their candidate would be endorsed by the Bremain Alliance, and all Bremain supporters would be asked to vote for them (providing they were actually genuine Bremain candidates, pledged to either a second referendum and /or revocation of article 50.) Websites to calculate this include: https://tacticalvote.co.uk/ 3. All candidates elected to the House of Commons, would pledge to enact legislation for a second referendum and /or to simply revoke article 50 immediately 4. All Bremain candidates would pledge, if elected to authorise the creation of a Royal Commission For A Written Constitution For The UK. If Scotland votes for independence in 2020, the Commission would have two sections, and one would concern solely a written constitution for Scotland. 5. All Bremain candidates would pledge to fast-track legal and Police Enquiries into all illegal actions undertaken by leave campaigners during the 2016 EU referendum. Start Your Project Today |
