COMMUNIST FLISK
New Member
here are some of the policies of the Communist Party of Britain (which i am a member of), tell me what you think:
*Redistribute wealth from the rich and big business to
working people and their families with a wealth tax, higher
corporation tax, cuts in VAT and higher pensions and
social benefits.
* Set the national minimum wage at half median male
earnings rising to two-thirds, with no exemptions, and
enforce equal pay through compulsory pay audits.
* Immediately restore the link between the state retirement
pension and earnings at its original value and introduce a
second state pension which includes contributions from
employers and the state.
* Halt all forms of privatisation and invest in public services
and their staff, with a massive programme in particular to
build more council and sheltered housing.
* Integrate all religious, private, trust and city academy
schools into a unified secular education system under
democratic local control.
* Protect and develop manufacturing industry through
public investment, measures against the export of jobs and
capital, and expanding fair trade with People's China and
other developing countries.
* Restore public ownership in the energy and transport
sectors, including the electricity, gas, coal, water and
railway industries, so that we can plan to meet future
needs by developing clean coal technology and tidal, solar
and offshore wind power.
* Match public subsidies to failing private companies with a
public shareholding and take banking and key industries
such as pharmaceuticals and armaments into democratic
public ownership.
* Cut military spending to average European levels, switch
military R&D and production to meeting social needs and
*scrap plans to replace Trident with a new nuclear weapons
system.
* Oppose all steps towards a military, monopoly capitalist
United States of Europe including an EU constitution, the
EU services directive and EU labour law reform.
* Repeal all anti-trade union, anti-democratic and racist
immigration laws with full employment rights and trade
union participation for migrant workers.
* Strengthen the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly
and restore powers and resources to local government.
* Abolish the House of Lords, break up the media
monopolies, scrap plans for ID cards and bring the police
and intelligence services under democratic control.
* Cancel all Third World debt, promote genuine trade-andaid
policies and oppose the GATS plan to privatise public
services across the world.
