Stratford sees launch of what’s billed as UK’s first non-political party
THE UK’s first non-political party has been launched in Stratford.
The new party is called NONPOL and claims it will bring a whole new political concept – Up Politics – to the public and it’s a concept which is not trapped in centuries old political ideology or political scandal, NONPOL is about letting the “cream rise to the top” and encourages discussion and the selection of the best common sense ideas which will benefit the community, the country and the people who are fed up with the way things are.
NONPOL was registered with The Electoral Commission last June and intends to field four candidates at the next general election.
The candidates will stand in Stratford, Lewes, Hove and Bury North but by the time the country goes to the polls NONPOL intend to recruit more candidates.
The leader of NONPOL is Neil O’Neil who told the Herald why a major change to the political composition of this country is now a priority and he outlined some of the 12 principles guiding NONPOL’s non-political doctrine.
“Common sense has gone out of politics it’s what I call bollotics – it’s too political with people just bashing each other all the time and the public are fed-up with it. So I’ve set up a party and written a constitution. We won’t align with other parties, corporates or people seeking political influence. We will dismantle wokism and cancel the cancel culture. We will Install a British Constitution for free speech, personal freedom and the right to disagree. We want to make the United Kingdom self-sufficient. History has shown that leadership, innovation, compassion and the vision of the United Kingdom has made our little islands the envy of the world. Together we are strong. Unite the Kingdom and all its people to be formidable again,” Mr O’Neil said.
On the subject of climate change NONPOL believes the millions and trillions being spent to combat climate change would be better spent managing the issue so the human race can live with it and understand how change can be made that way.
Even though NONPOL advocates free speech, the national media doesn’t escape scrutiny; an organisation which Neil O’Neil described as a “difficult evil”. He doesn’t include parochial journalism in this comment but NONPOL does believe greater control of the press is necessary and journalists should be issued with clearly identifiable licences which can be withdrawn if the media fails to comply with guidelines governing reporting techniques and photography, where photographic equipment would be removed if required in certain circumstances or without prior permission.
If Mr O’Neil was successful at the next election and became MP for Stratford his commitment would be to encourage business and industrial investment in the town and district to boost the economy and create jobs. He would not be involved in the day-to-day “small or little jobs” in the town which he believes the 41 councillors already appointed at local authority level are in a good potion to deal with already.
Neil O’Neil and NONPOL will be available to meet the public this Saturday 13th January at an information stall in Henley Street, Stratford from 9am onwards.
