We demand that the British state be controlled by a strong national government, with total authority, whose legitimacy derives directly from the consent of the British citizenry by way of plebiscites and referenda of public approval.
To enact all of the demands of the National Agenda, the British state must be a strong, centralised government. The overlapping and disorganised tiers of government (local/county/provincial) must be re-organised into a clear chain of command. Lower tiers of parliamentary government are to be abolished. The endless bickering and corruption of partisan, career and constituency politics must be curtailed.
Localism and devolved government have often been championed as a way to improve the ‘accountability’ of officials. In practice, it has resulted in incompetent (but Machiavellian) individuals treating devolved authorities as their own personal fiefdoms, sapping money from the public purse on administration but offering no real improvement in decision making ability. Furthermore, it creates a situation whereby different devolved authorities are constantly working against each other rather than for each other, and there is a tendency for every devolved government, mayor, council etc do be in it entirely for themselves.
The solution to this is to re-organise the system into a tiered one with a clear chain of command, with regional and local authorities, even if elected, acting as civil servants carrying out instructions as opposed to creating their own. The functions of devolved authorities are to be carried out as part of this chain of command. Where there is no justified workload, devolved elected assemblies of any level are to be abolished.
The National Agenda as a whole involves radical reform of our economy and society. It will not be possible to accomplish this without a centrally commanded government which possesses unlimited, but legitimate authority. It has become standard for governments to have appalling levels of approval and legitimacy from the population, even if they are capable of winning constituency elections. This system must be replaced with one in which the population are able to submit their confidence (or lack of it) in the government by way of plebiscites at regular intervals. This is the ultimate form of legitimacy.
It must be the end goal of the National Agenda to put an end to partisan politics, and bring about an amalgamation of Party, ideology, people and government. All those involved in government must work together, none must work against each other, and the collective destiny of our people must take precedence over any single individual.
