About |
Welcome We are the Reality Party – There Can Be Only One How do! We want rEvolutionary change for everyone is as short a time as possible to eradicate poverty, war and corruption and replace it with equality, health and peace. Seems an impossible task; yet the impossible task is allowing things to remain the same. Even though there is a lot to do, we need to face our fears together as we can work out what to do, like the people of Iceland. We have the skills, expertise, abilities, knowledges amongst us, the people, to ensure that things urgently change. We want to represent what you want and have based our ideas on that. Enjoy the website and have a good scoot around see which bits you like and offer what else we could do.

Manifesto |
Manifesto These are a few explanations of our manifesto plans from our mission statement. Taxation: Whilst most ordinary people in Britain suffer the daily hardship of austerity cuts, Transnational Corporations, High St chains and Financial Institutions avoid paying billions in tax every year. Current estimates put the figure at 120 Billion a year or 337 million a day. British favourites like ‘Boots the Chemist’ make millions from charging the government for NHS prescriptions out of our taxes but then move their profits offshore and pay paltry amounts of tax in the UK. This has to stop. If we collected those taxes that are due to us, there would be no need for austerity cuts. This money would be used to boost businesses, create jobs and build homes. We Are The Reality Party is committed to a fairer taxation policy with an assessment procedure put in place to tax companies and institutions that refuse to pay their fair share. Offshore tax havens will be boycotted or closed down. UK citizens holding secret funds offshore will be offered an amnesty to repatriate their money and pay a 25% flat rate tax or face losing their citizenship. Housing: To address the housing crisis in the UK. We Are The Reality Party will create an investment scheme working with local councils and contractors to build carbon neutral eco friendly social housing on brownfield sites. Rents will be government guaranteed for the period of the investment payback (20 years) after which time property ownership will transfer to the nation. Community Land Trusts are non-profit, community-based organisations run by volunteers that develop housing, workspaces, community facilities or other assets that meet the needs of the community, are owned and controlled by the community and are made available at permanently affordable levels. This, and other models of community owned and managed housing, are working well across the country. We will provide the practical support required to roll these out more widely. We will also tackle the huge problems encountered by tenants in the private rental sector of non- decent housing, landlords who fail to maintain their properties and outrages such as revenge evictions. Education: Education is vital for the duty of care that we owe to young people and creating the skill base we need for the future. We Are The Reality Party will work with the teaching profession and unions to help define a ten-year plan for improving education. We are committed to phase out tuition fees for students, so that it is not only the rich who can afford education. Intergenerational schemes that promote the sharing of skills and knowledge will be promoted, particularly in relation to food growing. Permaculture and horticulture will be introduced into the curriculum in conjunction with community gardens and we will promote the sharing of food produced to schools and the local community. Nationalisation Vs Privatisation: Over the last 30-40 years the nation’s wealth of property and utilities have been steadily sold off for bargain basement prices to private interests. Those companies now sell those same services back to us and make huge profits. At the same time they extract huge subsidies from the government via our taxes. Right now the government is selling off the most profitable chunks of our NHS. The police will be next. This has to stop. Recent polls suggest that over two thirds of British people want to see the return of essential services to National ownership. We Are The Reality Party is committed to halting all further privatisation of public services and to start a realistic process to renationalize essential services including water, energy, transport and the formation of a National Bank. Energy: Our energy policy cannot be controlled by the vested interests of the fossil fuel corporations, as is the case today. Climate change and Global Warming are a scientific reality. There is only one solution for our energy security. Renewable Energy technology is improving at a rapid rate and the costs are also falling rapidly. Green Energy companies in the UK are being squeezed and obstructed by the current government acting under the influence of the fossil fuel lobbyists who are also extracting large subsidies. Even today, Green Energy companies provide the cheapest energy for people on key meters, due to the way the big six energy companies weight their charges. Fracking for more fossil fuels is a technology that is fraught with serious risks to our water, health, environment, economy and future stability. Fracking will undermine investment into renewables and push us further towards climate chaos. It is the wrong way to go and the consequences could be disastrous. Only renewable energy has the potential to lower our energy bills in the long term as opposed to the 20% increases year on year we are suffering from the big six. We Are The Reality Party is committed to creating clear pathways for private investment in renewable energy, a nationally owned renewable energy generation company and support for community owned renewable energy Cooperatives. Investment in the National Grid Network; a total ban on Fracking; national roll out of retrofitting insulation and other energy saving measures. This policy has the potential to create over 1,000,000 real jobs Equality: Strive to make inequality a thing of the past by speaking out to challenge stereotypes and leading by example; opposing public service and welfare cuts which hit women and the disabled disproportionately hard; cracking down on domestic violence by demanding better resourced and coordinated domestic violence services; demanding better enforcement of regulations against discrimination in the workplace, including equal work for equal pay and an appreciation of the contribution of unpaid domestic and care work done by women and men; continue to speak out against racism & sexism in the media and exploring ways in which a better balance can be achieved in the workforce, and public and private institutions and organisations. EU: The benefits of EU membership are enormous in terms of trade, free movement, Human Rights, and access to services. We Are The Reality Party would strengthen our commitment to the European Union. However, trade agreements like the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) are being pushed through the back door of the EU in secret. This particular agreement would hand fiscal sovereignty to the EU, help to further privatise the NHS and allow corporations to sue the government if it passes legislation that might damage their profits (e.g. plain packaging on cigarettes). This is totally unacceptable and would demolish our democracy. If this trade agreement were to become a reality then we would seek to overturn the agreement or exit the EU as a last resort. We aim to introduce a rigorous social charter for corporations, encouraging those who play fair, and bringing the corporate vultures who place the importance of money over wellbeing in line. Corruption in Government: We Are The Reality Party would introduce serious penalties including confiscation of assets and minimum prison sentences for public officials and politicians found guilty of corruption in office or acting for personal gain and against the interest of the British people. This would go hand in hand with a review of politician’s pay, designed to create a system whereby being elected, as a politician is a highly respected and well paid job attracting the best candidates in the country. Politicians will not be able to supplement their basic income in other ways. Expenses will be replaced with travel cards and purpose built accommodation. Self interest and corrupt practices will not be tolerated. We Are The Reality Party is committed to increasing our democracy and people’s participation in decision-making. We will seek to set up systems that allow instant referendums via social media and also set up a consultation on the idea of proxy or compulsory voting. We can only be a true democracy when all of the people in our land have a voice. THIS COULD BE YOUR REALITY! |
