NATIONAL LIBERALS believe in Self-Determination for all. A central pillar of both political and national Self-Determination is the right for all people to say how they work, who they trade with and who can come to live and work in their respective countries.

Self-Determinists reject mass (as apart from a normal flow of) immigration on grounds of sustainability, a democratic deficit (in that ordinary working folks were never asked if they were in favour of immigration) and the fact that immigrants are used as slave labour (on minimum wages at best) and tax fodder to keep the the super-rich elite in their plush lifestyles.

We also believe that those who support mass immigration are supporting the aims of globalism and capitalism. Here, low wages and the erosion of long-established terms and conditions of work are the norm. Those who support mass immigration are supporting a system which promotes ‘a race to the bottom’ for both indigenous and migrant workers.

As always, the NLP wishes to encourage debate and feedback – good, bad or indifferent.

Immigration

An E-Poster produced by the National Liberal Trade Unionists. As Self-Determinists we reject mass immigration as it promotes ‘a race to the bottom’ for both indigenous and migrant workers.

Illegal Immigration

• We will ensure that immigrants do not overstay on their visas.

A large part of illegal immigration consists of people entering the UK legally on a visa, and then overstaying once that visa expires. We will ensure that our immigration authorities have the means to police expired visas.

Employment Visa Sponsorship

• A company wishing to sponsor a visa for a migrant worker must ensure that the job will pay at least 75% of the national average per month.

This policy ensures that where migrant workers take a job, they are not hurting the poorest members of society by competing for jobs at the lowest tier.

We recognise that skilled immigrants do bring much-needed skills to the workplace. We also recognise that unlimited immigration will strain our social support infrastructure. We aim to strike a balance between these two needs.

Political Refugees

• We will ensure that refugees can continue to seek safe haven in the UK.

We believe that there is a huge difference between those who are genuinely oppressed in their native lands and those who are ‘economic migrants.’

NATIONAL LIBERALS believe that we should protect the most vulnerable in society – for instance, single parents, the elderly, working poor, unemployed and disabled. Thus we have a duty to provide a ‘safety net’ (in the form of welfare and social security) for those who fall on hard times.

We obviously would like to see full employment – but until that day comes, we simply cannot understand the nature of those who believe that all of those who’re in receipt of benefits are ‘shirkers’, ‘cheats’ and ‘scroungers’. We challenge them to survive – never mind live – on a pittance in modern Britain!

Welfare and Social Security

Is everyone on benefits simply a ‘shirker?’

Benefit Sanctions

• We will end the benefit sanctions that are threatening to cause a humanitarian crisis.

We believe that Benefits are effectively the least a person needs to survive as is. A sanction sends the message of “you don’t deserve to live.” It is morally wrong.

We favour investigating the possibility of using coupons to enable those on benefits buy various essential items.

Pensions

• We would index link pensions to the retail price index.

Pensions – alongside all other forms of benefits – should be index linked so that those in receipt can buy essential items.

Healthcare ‘Tourism’

• We will take measures to end “healthcare tourism” paid for by the NHS.

We will introduce a scheme where non-nationals would have to have worked in Britain for two years or more and paid tax for that period before they get ‘free’ at point of entry NHS treatment (A&E excepted).
