Poverty knows no divide
Tackling Poor leadership
Poverty knows no divide; equally affecting orange and green communities. Northern Ireland has the most educated citizens in the UK however we are the lowest paid. Years of poor leadership by our elected politicians are clearly the reason why there is so much economic inequality.
Former UK Prime Minister Teresa May once quoted that the difference in life expectancy between the poorest in society and the richest areas is 9 years for boys and 7 years for girls. The key to a successful economy is to secure full devolution of tax raising powers. We want to reduce corporation tax levels to lower than the Republic of Ireland’s rate of 12.5%. We want to introduce a rate of 10% which will encourage investment and job creation in NI.
Proposals for Sustainable Town and City Development
We believe that local councils have decimated our towns and cities with the recent introduction of off street car parking attendants and unfair costly rates bills for start up businesses and local small and medium sized businesses.
We want to bring in free car parking to towns and cities for shoppers and workers and remove all rates bills. There are too many shops and streets closing up, becoming ghost towns. We want our towns to thrive.
A Call for Fiscal Responsibility
Addressing Taxation and Government Spending
It is our belief that the hardworking people of NI are being taxed at an obscene rate. The state sector does not create wealth but spends other people’s wealth in a wasteful way.
We want to reduce all state tax and national insurance contributions to a flat 20%.
This can be achieved using a phased approach of closing down non-essential state sector departments.
By doing this, other essential departments, such as the NHS, can be managed more effectively.
Restoring Monetary Stability
A Commitment to Gold-Backed Currency and financial sovereignty
We will ensure that our currency is returned to a gold-backed currency, with physical cash guaranteed
We will ensure the continued use of cash as a legal requirement for all shops, businesses, and banks.
Following developments in other jurisdictions eg. El Salvador, we support the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender.
We believe in upholding the fundamental right to financial privacy. We firmly oppose the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), recognising the potential threat they pose to individual privacy and financial autonomy.
