What will happen after the forthcoming General Election? England will still be locked within the three party system, it will still be dictated to by the EU, it will still be economically steered by failed economic systems that entrap the people instead of allowing ordinary folk opportunity and fairness. To put it simply in five years time absolutely nothing will have changed!

Therefore is it not time to think out of the box and look beyond the tribal ritual of the three main parties and beyond the corrupt and failed systems nearly all other political parties promote.

When we look at the dreadful state our country is in, with its dire economic and social problems as well as the surrendering of our sovereignty to Europe, now, probably more than at any other time in our history, there is a need for the election of a radical but not extreme alternative to deal with our country’s woes. There is a desperate need to help build a party that fills this void on the political landscape, and offer the electorate a radical yet non-extremist alternative. The only party offering a true alternative is the English Radical Alliance (ERA).

We are in favour of withdrawal from the EU but we are an insular thinking party as our critics may claim. If anything those that favour our membership of the EU are insular thinking in excluding much of the economic and trading opportunities beyond Europe. ERA would retain trading links and co-operation with Europe as well as recreating links with the commonwealth and other countries in the free world. But more importantly we would help rebuild the English economy, English industry and protect it from unfair foreign competition. Our vision of rebuilding English industry is not based on the capitalist principle of selling the workforce of England to mass multinational corporations. Our vision is based on the Distributist principle of helping to fund and teaching our people to create businesses, to encourage co-operatives and to secure jobs in England for the people of England. That means bringing to an end the open door policy of companies being allowed to relocate abroad and the influx of cheap foreign labour to our shores.

ERA also seeks independence for England. Since devolution to the other home nations the UK has slowly began to disintegrate. Some of you may remember the famous Tory party posters of the 1979 general election stating ‘Labour isn’t working’ and showing a long line of unemployed people. We could easily display similar posters claiming ‘The UK isn’t working’ and show a long line of English taxpayers money going to fund the Scots Parliament and Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies.

Once again, though we seek an independent England, we are not an insular thinking party. We are not anti-Scottish, anti-Wesh, anti-Irish. Out of the remnants of the UK, four proud and independent home nations shall emerge and become part of a Council of the Isles. This will provide independence, trade and co-operation between the home nations, yet contain none of the financial unfairness and social inequalities of the present UK.

Beyond the tribal ritual of the three main parties there are others, the Green Party, UKIP, Liberal Party, English Democrats and the BNP being the main players, plus a few socialist parties. Yet each of these parties either favours our continued membership of the EU and eventual demise into part of a European superstate, or supports the continuation of the UK with its financial unfairness and second class treatment of English citizens. Only ERA offers radical but not extreme policies, a new economic philosophy, the immediate withdrawal from the EU and the only solution to the unfairness of the present dis-United Kingdom. In the forthcoming General Election, because we are a young party we are concentrating our efforts on just one constituency – that being Liverpool Wavertree. However the time has come to build our radical party for the whole nation!
