Political Position

About

In our opinion, widespread disillusionment with party politics in the UK is driving the need for a new type of politician. Local decisions belong to local people. We will: abide wholeheartedly by the spirit and letter of the Seven Principles of Public Life set out by Lord Nolan in 1995: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership be guided by considered evidence, our real world experience and expertise, our constituencies and our consciences be free from the control of any political party, pressure group or whip be non-discriminatory, ethical and committed to pluralism. make decisions transparently and openly at every stage and level of the political process, enabling people to see how decisions are made and the evidence on which they are based listen, consulting our communities constantly and innovatively treat political opponents with courtesy and respect, challenging them when we believe they are wrong, and agreeing with them when we believe they are right resist abuses of power and patronage and promote democracy at every level claim expenses, salaries and compensation openly so the public can judge the value for money of our activities.
