Anybody can be an Independent candidate under the IndependenT Platform but must adhere to a very few guidelines.
- The IndependenT Platform candidates’ politics should not be extreme either right or left. You need to be in the middle ground where your goal is to try and cater for all the UK.
- The IndependenT Platform candidates should have spent ten years in the workplace so that you can bring that experience to the role.
- The IndependenT Platform supports the goal to resolve the future of the NHS and take it away from political control.
- The IndependenT Platform supports that politicians should only have one job while being a politician but also support change that gives politicians’ employment rights, redundancy pay and employment assistance should they lose their job during an election.
- A true democracy should not allow money to buy influence. The IndependenT Platform supports that all party donations should be limited to £1,000 max either in cash or benefit in kind. A new way of funding election should be developed with potentially some level of state funding to compliment donations.
- Long term planning policies are limited by the 5 year election cycle and the desire to constantly appeal and appease voters which means nothing is currently long term. The IndependenT platform will encourage members of parliament to start working constructively together and set long term goals that benefit all parts of society.
- The Independent Platform will not apply any political pressure on Independent MP’s once elected. They will be truly Independent.
- Should an Independent candidate or MP be found guilty of behaviour not acceptable of an MP or candidate they will be removed from the IndependenT Platform.
