NATIONAL LIBERALS SAY GIVE SCOTLAND A THIRD CHOICE!

As the Scottish Government ponders what questions and how many should be on the forthcoming ‘Independence’ Referendum, the National Liberal Party has launched a campaign to get a third option onto the ballot paper.

–

This option, popularly known as ‘Devo-Max’, would if voted for give Scotland full fiscal powers but stop short of outright Independence. The NLP believes that Devo-Max “is an important option that many people would prefer.” *

–

REFERENDUM NOT DEMOCRATIC UNLESS DEVO-MAX INCLUDED

–

Renfrew based Campaign Manager and Lib Dem defector, Glen Maney, says “This referendum would not be fully democratic unless it includes the option of voting for Devo-Max. Opinion polls show that a majority of voters presently oppose independence but would still like the Scottish Government to have more powers, especially financial. Devo-Max would be a popular option and the people must therefore be given the chance to vote either for independence, the union or Devo-Max.”

–

Activists are to distribute a new leaflet asking Scots to tell Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond via e-mail (alex.Salmond.msp@scottish.parliament.uk) and the Scottish Government via their website, that they want Devo-Max on the ballot paper!

–

BACK TO RECLAIM VOTERS

–

The National Liberal Party is hoping to reclaim the support its’ predecessor, the Liberal National Party once had. The party, a breakaway from the Liberals from the 1930’s over tariffs, had a number of MPs in the UK but was particularly strong in Scotland. Obtaining an average of 5% for the 20 years it was in existence it had MPs across Scotland from Edinburgh to Inverness to the Western Isles. They see themselves as a patriotic alternative to the Liberal Democrats.

–

The National Liberal Party will be producing more educational and outreach material concerning the Scottish Constitutional Referendum in due course. If members of the press would like to interview the Campaign Manager Glen Maney please contact him on 07545821414.

* The party explains why it supports Devo-Max as a constitutional choice at http://nationalliberal.org/?p=3645 and why it envisages Devo-Max for all nations of the UK at http://nationalliberal.org/?p=3340

National Liberal Press Statement: Liberal Democrat defector launches video celebrating Magna Carta Day!

Ex-Lib Dem man launches video in support of rival party

(National Liberal) in run up to MAGNA CARTA Day (June 15th)!

New National Secretary of the National Liberal Party, Glen Maney (professional comedian, actor and ex-Liberal Democrat activist), has launched a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rro5tuax8k) explaining why our liberties are under threat, why our way of life is worth preserving and his support for a ‘Green’ future. He is asking viewers to join or donate to his new party.

Dubbed a Moneybomb (in homage to Ron Paul’s supporters in the USA) it will be launched on the 15th June – Magna Carta* Day, which is a symbolic day of liberty.

TAKING LIBERTIES…….

Glen Maney, an recent defector from the LDs because of their ‘sell-out’ on policy, believes there is an ever increasing encroachment upon our civil liberties and individual freedoms. The phrase an ‘Englishman’s home is his castle’ is more than just a quaint phrase. It reflects an historic view that a Government’s writ largely remained outside our ‘ramparts’ and did not extend to personal affairs. In reality this has broken down with increasing attempts to intrude into our ‘private lives’ or ‘private views’ (should they not conform to the PC of the day).

Technology, whilst a ‘liberating’ force for many, is also being used to monitor us all. CCTV, DNA, Tracking devices, and communication eavesdropping and monitoring, are just a sample of the developments that will make it increasingly easier for any future Government to turn 1984 into a reality. National Liberals would like to see the creation of a Civil Liberties Minister who would act as a watchdog on state and private activity

The National Liberal Party under the leadership of Glen Maney will continue to expose the steady encroachment of our individual freedoms, civil liberties and way of life. Whilst the main political topics of the day; the economy, immigration, Europe and education presently hold the attention of political parties and the media we believe that concern over loss of civil liberties will one day hold everyone’s attention.

* This is the first recorded document where a King, previously ruling under a ‘Divine Right’, accepted that his ‘subjects’ had rights, including the right not to be gaoled without trial.

People’s Alliance (UK) Press Release

CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND VOTE AV!

The members of the new political campaigning group – The People’s Alliance (UK) – are launching their first public campaign on the 14th December.

The campaign entitled ‘CROSS YOUR FINGERS’ is calling upon the British electorate to vote YES to the forthcoming referendum (May 2011) on introducing the Alternative Vote (AV) at future Parliamentary elections.

Both of the two founding political parties – The National Liberal Party & the United People’s Party – would have preferred a vote on introducing genuine electoral reform such as Proportional Representation (PR) where all shades of opinion are represented in the Chamber. They say however that if the NO vote against any change wins, those supporting the present system (including the First Past the Post) will say “You’ve had your referendum, the matter is now settled for the next 100 years!” .

They are therefore calling upon the public to ‘cross their fingers’ and vote YES and hope this will lead onto further reform including the introduction of a form of PR.

A leaflet (bespoke versions by both parties) entitled ‘HavE YOUR SAY’ is being released on the day and will be distributed up to the vote.

The launch date of the 14th December has been chosen to coincide with the 1918 General Election which was based on the Representation of the People’s Act of that year that extended the vote to the majority of men and for the first time included (some) women. A YES vote will also result in voting reform.
