He believes in global good and justice, through local action. He has been directly involved in frontline activism on a range of justice issues, including Panjaab, honour killings, animal rights, environmental protection, welfare of nature, global self-determination of nations, empowerment of small, grassroots communities and nations and the dismantling of super-states and super-structures.

Dean Williamson

Based in Manchester. Whilst relatively young he believes that it is a strength rather than weakness as political disillusionment is very high amongst the UK’s youth and they are more likely to listen to their own peer group. A strong believer in communication and debate he believes everyone has the right to be independent and of free spirit. Especially interested in social issue campaigns he says he wants to repair the image of the politician through honesty, diplomacy and listening before talking. He hopes that the NLP can help and inspire the change that politics so sorely needs.
