Issue 4 Of English Voice Is Now Available!

Recent Blog Posts

THE LATEST issue of English Voice – The Voice Of The National Liberal Party – has been produced.

Issue 4 reiterates the claims (made in the first three issues) that England is discriminated against. This is because it’s the only nation in the UK that doesn’t have anything approaching Home Rule in the form of an assembly or parliament.

It also notes that issue 3 declared that the NLP would start following a twin track approach in respect of English self-determination.

This means both campaigning for an English parliament & also planning what form it should take.

The first (and probably the easiest) option would be to have a carbon copy of what Scotland, Ulster & Wales have. The second option would be an English version of Westminster – with an upper & lower chamber. The third option would be to have something radically different.

Whilst all options are on the table, English Voice notes that one thing is for sure:

‘We believe that any future English parliament should be based on – and established – via the following forms of direct democracy:

The introduction of a ‘None Of The Above’ (NOTA) option in respect of elections to the English parliament.

The introduction of a system of popular rule. Here, major national decisions will be decided by referendums or preferendums.

The introduction of Proportional Representation (PR). This will mean the abolition of the undemocratic ‘First Past The Post’ method of voting.

The introduction of a system of Voter Recall. Here, voters will be able to remove any representatives who’re not up to the job.’

Future issues of English Voice intend to develop these ideas.

However, the next issue will be a special one and will be produced just prior to the EU referendum. Like many people we’re thinking that this’ll be some time towards the middle of the year – with June appearing to be the favourite.
