Now dont you start getting all serious on me. Otherwise I may have to revert to talking sense.

Just for the record We do not have a constitution. We are a monarchy.

I will spell out MY basic thoughts and ideals... properly.
You tell me where we disagree.

All folk are equal and should be treated equal and have equal rights and opportunities. No privelges especially education. No discrimination

If you are sick or cannot work (genuinely) then you should not want for a decent standard of living. The state should provide.

Everyone is entitled to receive full healthcare free at point of need.

Everyone is entitled to follow whatever religious or moral beliefs they want providing the practices are legal and do not infringe rights or interfere with any other beliefs.

Free speech for everyone.

Free booze for everyone (sorry slipped that one in)

Contraception and abortion is a matter of individual conscience and no person should interfer in anothers informed choice.
It is a right for everyone to choose. However it must not be taken lightly and proper councilling shoud be given.

Global warming, waste and pollution. Our earth and its climate are precious cause we hand it down to future generations so we have to keep our waste, pollution, and consumption down to realistic sustainable levels.

All large companies and services eg gas, electricity, communications, post, transport, insurance etc should be nationalised. Ie owned and run by the people and profits used to help provide for the nation.

Free enterprise but a minimum wage set at a realistic level to give everyone a decent standard of living. Companies making excessive profits will be taxed more heavily and excessive moneys forfeited. They will be allowed to invest in new technology and expand business and can use profits to fund this.
All workers should be paid according to their productivity but must receive a minimum standard.

Tax. All persons shall be taxed on a sliding scale according to income and dependants.

Pensions. The state shall provide decent pensions for our retired workers. This would be paid for by contributions deducted from pay.

More drug enforcement stiffer sentences for dealers and properly funded and controlled rehab for users.

Heavier sentences for criminals and better justice for victims which should include support and compensation.
I am against the death penalty.
Serious or habitual criminals or sex offenders or people with severe dangerous mental health problems should not be released.

I am totally against anyone bearing arms or any offensive weapons. There is no need in this day and age.

This last one is a bit funny for a lefty but I do believe it
convicted felons and drug addicts and sexual offenders should be
prevented from bearing or raising children.
Crudely put Junkies alcoholics and criminals have no right to self perpetuate.

I am a pacifist anti WMD and any other kind of war. Let no man try to invade my country or mess with me or my family however. I will kill them. Yes I am a hypocrite as well.

These are my basic ideals and morals if you like.
So am I still a horrible commie left pink swine and an outcast?
