The Peace Party – Non-violence, Justice, Environment aims to break the mould of British, European and World politics.
It envisions a new perspective on human existence, replacing the current sets of values with ones based around reverence for all life and on co-operation and compassion for humanity.
The Peace Party knows that the World needs re-fashioning into one of widespread sister- and brother-hood. People will come to respect others and, in turn, be respected. Resources will need to re-directed and re-allocated fairly and equitably. The human family will become more spiritual, less reliant on material things.
A system based on co-operation will be infinitely more socially beneficial than the unquestioned dominance of competition which prevails at present. The Peace Party knows governments will need to be much more responsive to the needs of people locally and nationally. On the other hand, the state will play a far less important part in people’s lives. The Peace Party will be seeking to address the huge problems of fear and insecurity, even of the fear of fear itself.
