Conservative Way Forward's Principles
 

Nationhood

Each nation must be free to determine its policies to the benefit of its citizens.

Freedom

For responsible individuals, guaranteed by the rule of law administered by and independent judiciary and minimal state activity.

Democracy

The exercise of political power, with the consent of the people - through regular elections on the basis of universal suffrage and a secret ballot.

Security

The first duty of the state is to provide external and internal defence of the citizenry.

Community

Defined by geography, tradition, inheritance and sense of identity.

Capitalism

The most effective system of wealth creation. Free markets are blind to gener, race, class or religion.

Choice

For individuals must be maximised - even if the state accepts responsibility for provision of a safety net.

Enterprise

Fostered by a low tax, low inflation economy - with currency exchange rates determined by the free market.

Deregulation

Domestic and global - to maximise freedom of choice and individual responsibility in an improved society.
