Localism = Freedom From Central Government. 15 Minute Cities = Control By Central Government.
FIRST OF ALL, the National Liberal Party wishes to nail its colour’s firmly to the mast. We are a movement that supports localism. Â
But what is localism? Â
As our poster notes, we define it as ‘a policy which supports the local production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. It puts the local economy, community and environment first.’ Â
However, our idea of localism should not be confused with the government’s idea of 15 minute cities. Â
The National Liberal Party is completely opposed to ‘big government.’ Instead, we favour ‘small government’. We wish to restrict government functions to the absolute minimum. Â
Government shouldn’t interfere in the day-to-day affairs of ordinary people. We’ve absolutely no interest in extending the power & reach of what’s become known as the ‘Nanny States’. Â
As we constantly note, our raison d’êtreis is economic, political & national self-determination. Â
We firmly believe that our people (and nations) should be sovereign – and not subjects. Therefore, we propose devolving all forms of power down to the lowest possible common denominator. Â
Localism is the opposite of globalism. Â
Localism is more to do with voluntary association & mutual aid. Globalism is all about coercive control. And that is why we localists oppose the globalists. Â
Globalists – the banks, corporations & MSM – are only interested in money, power & control. Effectively, they’re the new slave masters. Â
With the above in mind, two things should be blindingly obvious: Â
• National Liberalism is all about freedom – and not control. Â
• And the National Liberal Party’s idea of localism is the complete opposite of the Government’s proposed 15 minute cities.
