The OpenPolitics Manifesto

@Iconocast86 edited manifesto/index.md - about 9 years ago

Open, transparent and accountable, with no hiding place for backroom influence.
Rational, with decisions and policy based on sound evidence, not media pressure.
Courageous, able to make difficult decisions without pandering to short-termism.

Ethical: dedicated to creating a sustainable society and economy with progressive moral values.

Ethical: dedicated to creating a sustainable society and economy with moral values.

We believe that individuals should be:

In short, we wish to ensure government remains open and transparent, whilst individuals retain liberty and privacy.

We believe that we are heading towards a better future, and that government has an essential role in taking us there. We also believe that as a country, we can self-govern better in the future, and will create policy that hopes to re-engage citizens in our democratic process.

The ideas contained in this manifesto are intentionally idealistic; they show the direction we would like to see the UK head in. They are not necessarily policies that could be implemented tomorrow (although a few could be). Any attempt to implement them would certainly take a good deal of work, time, and reform, but we believe it's important to have a long-term roadmap to which to refer.

I'm quite happy with the inclusion of the word 'progressive' myself. Why the change?

Oh I'd missed that :/

@Iconocast86 Could we restore "progressive" here?
