“..set your foreheads against the ignorant Hirelings!…We do not want either Greek or Roman Models if we are but just & true to our own Imaginations..”

Principles of Democracy

In order for people to be free, and for justice to prevail *everywhere*, we must collectively build our own government, from the ground up.

ie. Regular decentralised mobilisation
for a new, libertarian politics..

A New Social Covenant | Suggested Policy Demands:

(1) The reordering of society from the ground up so that executive power vests with the people on the street and in each locality, in accordance with the UN right to self-determination, EU subsidiarity and democracy as ‘government by the people’, and by way of the concept of ‘Free Assembly’.

(2) People’s (Community Land Trust, CLT) buildings, with garden on every street: each to be run by the people who live around it as they see fit (and each Locality to be recognised in *meta-law* as a new social covenant Free Assembly).

(3) New communities enclosures: the ring fencing of parcels of land for the facilitation of low-impact, intentional, human-scale communities (kibbutz/commune style CLTs), each standing independently as a Free Assembly, with security of tenure and the same constitutional status as enjoyed by each locality outlined in (2) and (4).

(4) Free Assemblies to enjoy full executive and judicial powers of first instance, to be constitutionally recognised and include, alongside electoral processes delegate-system voting rights in Parliament, local taxation powers, the right to petition for and challenge new legislation, and constitutionality on all matters.

(5) Widespread expansion of affordable, low impact self-governing CLT, self-build, 4th Option and SPAN style housing projects.

(6) A new regime of Currency Transaction CTT and other Corporate Taxation on bank speculation and other multinational profits, monies to be ring fenced for grassroots development projects, to pay for basic sanitation, emergency relief, education and housing in the poorest sections of the world.

(7) EU Common Agricultural Policy CAP funds (currently 30 billion pounds of EU taxpayers budget per annum, and of enormous adverse effect on fair trade for developing agricultural economies) to be diverted for new CLT purchases outlined in (2) (3) and (5).

(8) A written constitution with built-in sunset clause (constitution to lapse every 15 years) to incorporate these and other policy demands and allow for judicial appeal procedures.

(9) To reign in on the absolute and unaccountable doctrine of Parliamentary Sovereignty, and guarantee the rights set out above, terms of written constitution (subject to sunset clause) to be recognised as new covenant *meta-law*, judicially enforceable against the state, as in the US.

(10) Terms of *meta-law* (new constitution) to include fundamental democratic rights of freedom of conscience, expression, protest and assembly, plus other rights set out in the UDHR and elsewhere

Encouraging Decentralised Mobilisation and A New Sovereignty, Built from Below

Let us use these ideas as a starting point around which to organise, according to the principles we stand for and to reflect the self-governing society we want to build. These principles are DIY, self-organising, indie, decentralized and democratic: non-hierarchical and from below. Let’s convene regular public meetings in every locality.

“Rouze up O Young Men and Women of the New Age! set your foreheads against the
ignorant Hirelings! For we have Hirelings in the Camp, the Court, &
the University: who would if they could, for ever depress Mental &
prolong Corporeal War. Painters! on you I call! Sculptors! Architects!
.. believe Christ & his Apostles that there is a Class of Men whose whole delight is in
Destroying. We do not want either Greek or Roman Models if we are but
just & true to our own Imaginations..”
William Blake
