Hello all! :)
New member here from not-so-sunny Britain!
Heard about this site some time ago, thought I'd check it out!
I'm nineteen, have been working since I was sixteen and am currently in warehousing at a place that seems pretty good! I like a drink and laugh and my kinda music is reggae, ska, 2Tone and punk :thumbup:
My political views don't really fit into a category as such so I'll try to set them out as clearly as possible:
I believe in a form of state that is governed through a parliament bound by constitutional laws and chosen from the people through the Ancient Greek practice of Sortition. There should be no figurehead such as "President" with the exception, perhaps of a Speaker who would simply announce the day's agenda in "Parliament".
I believe that focus groups should be raised from different social sectors (i.e. healthcare, education, military etc. etc.) to present different solutions to issues presented to parliament to be voted on, and that these focus groups should be chosen from people with field experience (an example, who better to advice on healthcare than long-standing doctors, nurses midwifes, hospital governors etc. etc.?) .
I believe large industries should be run by the state for the benefit of the people in order to provide them with large-scale employment and other benefits.
I believe that all who are capable of working should do their utmost to do so and their primary from of payment should be in the form of free state-provided housing, utilities, healthcare, education and essentials. If people wish to partake of "luxuries" then they should have the right to work beyond state-service hours for actual money which they can spend how they please (for example alcohol which is enjoyed by many is certainly not a necessity in life).
However, I am aware that their are those who would not wish to work within the confines of a governed state, and they should be allowed to do so, provided land but advised that they should continue to follow basic moral laws and basic constitutional declarations (i.e. you may not exploit other human beings as a rough example) but would receive no assistance from the state unless in times of catastrophic emergency (i.e. natural disaster, disease etc. etc.) except for permitted access to the very basic state-provided essentials (i.e. healthcare and education should they desire state education).
These are just a very basic few of my beliefs. At this moment I have literally no idea where I stand in the political spectrum apart from being broadly left, any help from those on here would be much appreciated!
Many thanks, comrades!
