The English Democrats party was formed in 2002 because the
New labour Government in its rush to secure national devolution
for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, completely ignored the
interests and indeed the existence of England. Our primary
objective is the creation of an English Parliament and Executive
within the United Kingdom with the same powers as the Scottish
Parliament and Executive.
We
believe that the people of the England need a political party
which will represent their interests and the interests of England
as a nation in its own right. We are proud to call ourselves
English patriots but we are not racists or extremists. Membership
of the English Democrats Party is open to anyone, whatever their
ethnicity or culture. All we require is that members are broadly
in agreement with our manifesto and abide by the rules of our
constitution.
We
are committed to the creation of a Parliament for England but we
are not a single issue party. We are committed to government of
the people of England, by the people of England and for the
people of England. We believe it is important to preserve the
traditional freedoms of the people of England such as Habeas
Corpus and trial by Jury. We believe in a system of government
that gives as much power and freedom as possible to the people and
communities of England
As
a political party we recognise that real Democracy is much more
than the ability to choose, from time to time, between broadly
similar parties which compete amongst themselves for power. Real
democracy is measured by the ability of the people to manage their
political, economic, physical, and cultural environment. We
believe in real LOCAL Government not artificial Regional
Bureaucracies. We believe that any change in the Constitution or
Government of England should only be made by the people of England
in a Referendum.
We
believe that the people of England have the right to decide
whether they wish to remain part of the European Union. If the
people of England wish to remain part of the European Union then
they are entitled to have their views and interests represented in
the EU in the same way that the interests of Scotland and Wales
are represented by their Devolved executives.
English Democrats come from widely varying backgrounds and from
all parts of England. We are a new, vigorous and growing group of
individuals frustrated by the failures and arrogance of the
professional politicians of the existing parties. Join us and play
a part in building a party that represents your views, your
interests and your country.
