our manifesto

1 Conversation

The points below outline the main issues that we feel need to change in order to develop a better society, one which effectively deals with the problems in our community and the world at large. These are the preliminary ideas, points that obviously need to be worked on to form a fluid manifesto for a new way forward, a political movement based on debate and co-operation. If you feel you have something to add to these points, or if you have read something that you disagree with strongly, we would greatly appreciate any comments you would like to make.
