• Britain will become a Republic: the royal family and other monarchical institutions (eg. the Commonwealth) will be dissolved and replaced with an elected head of state.
• The antiquated and undemocratic House of Lords would also be abolished.
• All treaties, laws and acts which perpetuate a British occupation of Northern Ireland would be repealed, and UK troops would be withdrawn from the six counties.
• Britain will have a written constitution which will enshrine basic human rights, freedoms and incorporate proportional representation as the national voting system.
• The number of MPs will be halved, and MPs will be paid a wage in line with careers of an equivalent responsibility.
• London will remain the capital city of Britain, though the seat of government will move northwards to York.
• Britain will terminate her membership of NATO and induce colossal reductions in military spending. Trident will be decommissioned, saving £100 billion. 2/3s of British warships will be disarmed, renovated and transformed into hospital ships. All foreign military bases will be closed.
• The UK would, reflecting upon its new lack of monarchy and territorial extent, be renamed the Republic of Great Britain.
• Pending a referendum, Britain will withdraw from the EU. This decision is based on the increasingly bureaucratic nature of the EU and an opposition to free market capitalism, rather than for nationalistic reasons. Doing so would give Britain an immediate net gain of £12 billion, and would allow us to strengthen trading links with Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
• In order to end Britain's dependency on imported oil and gas, at least 30 pits closed in the period 1992/93 would be reopened, and a further 30 would be developed in areas of Wales, Scotland and northern England which have suffered from deprivation and decline due to Thatcherite policies.
  • this policy would employ 100,000 people and our balance of payments would be at least £3 billion per year better off as a result of Britain no longer buying subsidised energy from abroad.
• Britain's newly regenerated and publicly owned mining industry would cost £50 billion, or £5 billion per year over a decade, to develop. This money could easily be raised by scrapping our expensive nuclear power industry.
• Britain's main industries, shamelessly privatised by the Tories and New Labour in order to make a quick buck, will be nationalised. Energy, water, sewage, public transport, telecommunications, the National Health Service, banks, the postal services, oil corporations and major insurance companies will be brought under public ownership.
  • With public control and proper management operating for the common good, public and municipal ownership can always out-perform private enterprise. Always! Don't be told otherwise!
• Heavy industry will return to Britain. Glasgow's shipbuilding capacity – once the envy of the world – will be revitalised through the construction of a fleet of hospital ships. A British National Oil Corporation will be formed, maintained by the profits from North Sea oil. Coal mines will spring up throughout Ayrshire, Yorkshire and the Welsh valleys, as will automobile and locomotive factories. Such a return of industry will provide employment to millions.
• Unemployment will be wiped out virtually overnight by introducing the following basic measures:
  • A four-day working week
  • A ban on all non-essential overtime
  • Retirement on a voluntary basis with full pay at 55
• A national minimum wage of £10 an hour will be implemented - a figure which would give workers on a 35-hour week £350, or an annual wage of £18,200.
