Not Your Typical Political Party
Party Structure
NI People are not a typical political party in Northern Ireland. We completely ignore orange and green labels and instead, celebrate our rich diversity of traditions and cultures, seeking to unite our communities to make NI work for all. We are a common sense, genuine centrist party for all that represents NI. We feel there is no person who fits this description from any political party here in NI.
We believe in putting people first and stripping back unnecessary government bureaucracy. We want to create a common-sense approach to government, free from big business and lobby group interference and control, and instead, create a decentralised, localised style of government.
Embracing Unwhipped Dynamics
We are a completely unwhipped political party that promotes diversity of opinion and freedom with a set of principles to act as a guide with the specifics freely debated and agreed.
We strongly feel that the current traditional parties stifle creativity and put their party first. We very much believe that the public who vote in politicians and their specific areas should be put first.
Instead of a traditional party structure of a leader with followers, we are promoting a party of leaders. There is a leader in name only to satisfy the current system and they will step down following 2 terms to be replaced by another candidate. There is a party Chairman who can suspend the party leader if required and their role is also on a rotation basis.
Beating Bureacracy
A Call for Minimising the State
NI People will streamline bureaucracy by advocating for fewer laws and a smaller state sector.
We prioritize supporting local small and medium-sized businesses and advocate for full devolution of powers from Westminster.
We propose removing law-making abilities from Brussels.
We will lower corporation taxes below our competitors in the Republic of Ireland to attract global wealth.
We propose significant reductions in household and business rates and taxes, empowering individuals to make their own spending decisions rather than relying on the state sector.
Why NI People?
What Makes Us Different?
Now is the time for all communities to truly come together to realize their full potential.
By supporting each other as ONE community and no longer as cross-community, we will respect, defend and celebrate each other’s cultures together.
The last few years have been extremely difficult with Covid restrictions affecting everyone’s mental and physical health. The scale of the damage done to our lives and our economy is truly unprecedented.
The financial irresponsibility and waste demonstrated by our ‘government’ will negatively affect not only those on benefits, but also the working poor with many now jobless and families separated.
Ill-informed, self-serving and dishonest government policies of lockdowns have resulted in business closures.
We have been badly let down by career politicians, intent on clinging onto their personal power and influence instead of empowering and enabling the people to live their lives. Driven by pure greed and ego they have prioritised their personal interests and gain over that of the civilians that voted them in to do precisely that.
There is now real hope for positive change from the old politics of division to one of inclusivity; one that places the needs of the civilian over the power of the individual politician. We propose and pledge to deliver a revolutionary new system where ordinary members of the public are empowered and responsible for key decision making in their areas. Our new system will truly be represented by the whole community.
