The Aim of the Wessex Regionalist Party is to obtain and implement self-government for Wessex, in line with the values of the Party (see below).
Every policy we adopt must then be consistent with and support the overarching value of devolution (the reason the party exists).
Policies are then tested against four other values that were mostly absorbed and adapted from Common Wealth. These are:
- vital democracy (in every branch of society: political, industrial, and social);
- community ownership (the Third Way in economics, not nationalised or free-market, but community owned);
- environmental stewardship (to reverse the adverse impact of human activity on the environment);
- ethical politics (the conviction that what is morally wrong cannot be economically or politically right).
These aims are fine, but not necessarily unique. Other political parties and movements will advocate the same or similar aims, e.g. uphold democracy, protect the environment, etc. – what make the Wessex Regionalists different are the values that we apply, when planning how to achieve these aims within Wessex. Building on the model of the Wessex Clubmen during the English Civil War, we look for models and initiatives that promote a uniquely Wessex (third) way.
