Goals & Policy Detail - Britain

BACK TO MAIN GOALS & POLICY DETAIL

This is what you say:

We want to be proud of Britain and our place in the world.

What's wrong with things as they are?

People are confused about Britain's place in the world
British Citizenship is too easy to obtain
Britain's performance and stature on the world stage is diminishing
Britain's historical strengths and beliefs are being erased

UKpopdems will make sure that Britain is once again the best country in the world, so we'll:

Heavily invest in sport, engineering, science, medicine, arts and entertainment to produce world beating results and encourage matching investments from the private sector
Reward individuals and teams who demonstrate world beating performance and achievements
Welcome new citizens but make citizenship harder to obtain and of better long term value to both the candidate and to Britain
Encourage the union flag to be flown on all public buildings and by everyone.
Ask the peoples' views on political correctness, equality and discrimination, health and safety etc, and reflect these views in law where appropriate.
Ensure better visibility of British history, culture and beliefs in order for everyone to understand what Britain stands for.
Set up a new independent body to enhance Britain's rural and city landscape

What will this do for the British People?

You will recognise growth in Britain's world performance in multiple areas
When individuals and teams are rewarded, you will know it is because of world beating achievements
You will recognise and be encouraged to celebrate British history, culture and beliefs
New British citizens will understand their full responsibilities as well as their freedoms and rights
Your views on complex social issues will be listened to and the majority view acted on
Britain's history, culture and beliefs will be a bigger focus in schools and our public heritage protected and properly invested in
Britain's country-side and towns will be protected and new building will be more attractive and sustainable.

Companion notes to the policy

We're looking for spectacular British achievements: medical and scientific breakthroughs, sporting records, global arts awards, fabulous entertainment and astonishing engineering feats. Achievements will be rewarded through honours and/or other benefits.
Tougher citizenship would include English language fluency; basic knowledge of British history, geography, laws culture and beliefs; value to Britain. Citizenship through marriage lengthened to seven years.
The people, themselves, should decide on social issues that affect their daily lives. Peoples' votes will be decided by a simple majority between two choices. One of the choices may have additional gradient choices.
Britain's history, culture and beliefs will be part of the new civilisation curriculum in schools.
Independent bodies are totally separate from government, funded by separate tax precepts.
