National Liberal Party 2015 General Election Manifesto – Section 1
THE NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY launched its 2015 General Election Manifesto towards the end of last month. A packed meeting – attended by our candidates Sockalingam ‘Yogi’ Yogalingam and Jagdeesh Singh – heard various speakers outline the NLPs ideals of National Freedom and Social Justice.
At the core of our Manifesto is a call for Self-Determination. Our view is that Self-Determination should be both a simple basic human right for everyone and a building block for every nation. Thus the NLP argues in favour of both National and Political Self-Determination.
Our Manifesto consists of an introduction – which gives an overview of the concept of Self-Determination – followed by sections on the likes of Constitution & Political Reform, Foreign Policy, the Environment, Economy and so on.
In order to encourage debate and feedback – good, bad or indifferent – on our General Election Manifesto, we’re also reproducing it in ‘bite size’ pieces. You can find the first section below.

The NLPs General Election Manifesto calls for National and Political Self- Determination.
The National Liberal Party believes in the universal principle of Self-Determination, both National and Political, which is essentially about giving people control of their affairs – locally, regionally and nationally. Government for the benefit of the people, by the people!
Firstly, National Self-Determination. This includes the following key points:
• We will work to make a truly federal United Kingdom, instead of a centralised government where everything is decided at Westminster.
• We will create a parliament for England.
• We will support the right of independence for all the world’s stateless nations.
• We will work for the preservation of the United Kingdom’s independence within Europe.
• We will devolve appropriate power to the constituent nations of the United Kingdom.
Secondly, Poltical Self-Determination. This includes the following key points:
• Direct Democracy through the use of Referendums.
• Proportional Representation.
• Voter Recall of elected politicians.
• A “None of the Above” (NOTA) box on the ballot papers.
• Decentralise all decision-making to the most practical level.
