National Liberal Debate 18 – President Donald Trump – Have Your Say!

Donald Trump is set to take over from Barack Obama to become the next President of the United States

THE MANY problems faced by Britain – whether economic or social – are not going to be solved by screaming and shouting. Thus, the National Liberal Party is not interested in ‘hitting the headlines’ using the tired formula of macho–posturing and gesture politics. These problems will only be overcome by a combination of careful thought and action.

.

This means that we favour informed and reasoned debate. Here we concentrate on arguments, points of view and facts. We are not interested in personalities, prejudice or promoting self-interest.

The National Liberal Party seeks to build an organisation that encourages free speech and debate. To do this, we also attempt to take into consideration as many views as is possible in open debate. Thus, members and supporters are always encouraged to have their say.

.

We’re also interested in encouraging people to develop their debating skills. That’s why the NLP has introduced a new series of articles called Have Your Say! Whilst each subject will be announced on this web-site, they’ll be conducted in full on the National Liberals Facebook site, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/52739504313/

Before we start this debate we’d like to remind folks of our ground rules:

• First of all, say what you think – but think what you say.

• Secondly, just debate the issue(s) raised. There should be no personal attacks.

• As previously noted, we’re simply not interested in personalities.

• Please note that we may ask selected members and supporters to play ‘devil’s advocate’. Hopefully, this’ll help sharpen the debating skills of all involved!

• Finally, it should be remembered that all of the views expressed in Have Your Say! are personal and should not be taken to be the official view of the NLP itself.

Our latest debate asks two simple questions relating to incoming US President Donald Trump. Firstly, why did he get elected – and secondly what are the implications (particularly for Britain) of his election?

To share your views, simply look out for this article on the National Liberals facebook site https://www.facebook.com/groups/52739504313/?fref=nf and have your say in the comments section.

SELF-DETERMINIST? JOIN NOW!

.

National Liberals believe in the three aspects of self-determination: Political e.g. referendums and PR, Economic e.g. self-employed and small businesses and National e.g. independence and national sovereignty.

.

National Self-Determinists (SD) in particular need to lobby and promote their cause wherever they are. This is especially so for those communities that have had to flee from their homeland for supporting independence or autonomy.

.

The NLP is the only Self-Determinist party in the UK. We urge you to join us to support your national cause by joining and campaigning with us. Whether this is at elections where self-determination is promoted or lobbying via the pressure group Nations without States. Every Diaspora should be represented!

.

You can join (£10 or £5 non/waged) via http://nationalliberal.org/join-nlp

.

Self-Determination for all!

Scottish Youth Say BreXit Now!

.

.

WE AT LIBERAL FUTURE acknowledge that Scotland voted to remain in the European Union –1,661,191 voted to remain with 1,018,322 backing Brexit. However, as we all know, the EU Referendum result was based on the UK vote – and that vote was in favour of Brexit.

We also find it amusing – to say the very least – to note that the establishment has repeatedly asked the electorate to do its ‘democratic duty’ and get out and vote in each and every single election. It doesn’t matter if it’s simply a ward election or something on a grander scale, we’ve been constantly lectured to exercise our franchise.

However, it’s another matter when people go out and vote in their millions against the wishes of the ‘powers that be’ – as in June’s EU Referendum!

Then it’s a case of the establishment claiming that the electorate obviously didn’t understand the question or that voters are not qualified to decide matters of national importance!

Thus we see elements of the establishment desperately trying to slow down (or even trying to derail?) the will of the majority. It seems that democracy is ok so long as the plebs do what they’re told!

In Scotland, first minister Nicola Sturgeon bitterly opposed the overall will of the electorate. Indeed, she announced that she would like to “explore all the possible options to protect Scotland’s place in the EU” – https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/25/sturgeon-seeks-urgent-brussels-talks-to-protect-scotlands-eu-membership

Liberal Future believes that she is acting like a little Hitler, and displays an incredible anti-democratic bias and contempt possibly bordering on hatred for those English and Welsh voters who backed Brexit in their millions.

With this in mind we believe that Peter Oborne writing in the Daily Mail on 17^th September was bang on the money when he noted that:

‘The result of the referendum was motivated by a great deal more than rejection of the European Union. It was above all a manifestation of popular revulsion against a political and business establishment which gave Britain the Iraq War, the banking crisis and the biggest national debt in British peacetime history.

This out of touch, arrogant ruling class had failed to control or manage immigration, while tinkering obsessively with British public services to little effect. It governed shamelessly in its own interest, using power not for the sake of the nation but as a means of acquiring wealth.’
