Support
EPICUS
- THE PARTY of INFORMED CONSENSUS (EPICUS).
"E-voting
referenda on important issues with Informed
Consensus."
Tony Blair and George Bush may have
some great ideas but many bad ones. We want to vote on issues, not for a single
person.
Devise a fraud-proof E-Voting
system.
THE
EPICUS PARTY MANIFESTO –short version.
Pick
& Choose with EPICUS
See the detailed EPICUS
manifesto.
1. TRANSPORT
"Time is each human's most
valuable, rare resource. Don't waste it sitting in transport bottlenecks."
Reduce journey times and pollution.
We know how to build and use roads - so tarmac the railways, prime routes used
just 2% of the day. Tax greedy road space users and polluters.
2. HOUSING
"Every citizen is entitled to a
pleasant place to live."
Keep interest rates low. Build more
homes and enable self-build. Encourage kit houses. Use ALL derelict land.
Educate people into having a good neighbourhood.
3. HEALTH
"Citizens are entitled to good
free health care - but not unlimited health care. Educate people to take responsibility
for their own health to “Die in the Best of Health”."
With 1.2 million employees the UK NHS
is disorganised not understaffed. All NHS staff should be medically qualified –
train many more nurses and doctors – stop subcontracting – bring back Matron.
4. EDUCATION TRAINING
"Each person has unique talents
and different forms of intelligence which the education system should identify,
nourish and develop. We must train our own apprentices."
All should discover their own
talents, overcome inertia and apply those talents; thus is wealth created.
Tutors should develop students’ skills – Academic, Sport, Music, Business,
Politics, etc. Educate more through the media and the Internet.
5. LAW & ORDER.
"Citizens have a right to live
in safety without fear or bad policing. Prison should only be for dangerous
criminals. Punishments should fit the crimes."
Reduce the 60,000 in prison to
10,000; legalise recreational drugs and free fine-non-payers. Focus law
agencies on major frauds and violent crime.
6. "IT'S THE ECONOMY
STUPID" - FISCAL & ECONOMIC POLICIES.
"The sweat of steel-engineers or soldiers
dying for the nation or nurses saving lives, are as valuable as the duties of
any senior-manager. Equalise the rewards and respect for hard work and sacrifice.”
Repatriate all illicit offshore
tax-haven money – about $14 trillion dollars in all – and use it to rescue
We are feeding too many fat-cats,
who are often criminals, and starving key workers; bring in new wealth
distribution policies
(see BIRTHRIGHT – BIRTHRIGHT WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION ).
Budget changes need to avoid
dislocation - “Evolution not Revolution.”
7. DEFENCE, IMMIGRATION AND
EMIGRATION – TERRORISM.
"We still need powerful
defences but the world has changed and information flow prevents us from
ignoring our neighbours' rights and needs."
Terrorists have threatened
governments since the beginning of time – e.g. Guy Fawkes filled Parliament’s
cellars with gunpowder - The secret and security services should do their jobs
– or resign.
Balance immigration and emigration -
"We in the
