The Manifesto has just been sent to me by a friend.
So-called "Christian democrats" sometimes get up to strange things. Whether those strange things are "christian" or not, is not for me to say; but they are definitely not democratic.
Here, however, is the clearest political Manifesto that I have seen in a long time.
At least it presents clear policies with which one can agree - or disagree!
Though I don't see much here with which Hindus such as myself will disagree. For that matter, there isn't much here with which Buddhists, Jews, Muslims or Sikhs will disagree. In fact, I can't see why there won't be agreement from agnostics and atheists.
The policies are based on a few key principles:
- Greening the Global Economy
- Trade Justice and Equality
- Respect for the Human Person
- Ending Secrecy and Corruption
- Referendum Now! (Lisbon Treaty).
What avoids these being simply "motherhood and apple pie" is that they present quite specific actions - though on those there may well be disagreement.
In any case, here is the CPA website: www.cpaparty.org.uk
