Hello. I would appreciate if someone could give me a label (or labelS) that describes my political beliefs? Although a political label is perhaps restraining, it is a useful categorisation.
Political Views
Social: Strongly oppose mass immigration. Supporter of capital punishment. Support drug decriminalization, and treat addiction as a medical and psychological problem. Proudly nationalistic. Embrace English culture and traditional values. Encourage a society built around the traditional family. Foster a society where personal fiscal responsibility is encouraged (although a modified social security must be in place to curb income inequality). Supporter of harsh punishment for crime and an acknowledgement that punishment must be a more important factor than rehabilitation. Moderate background checks for gun ownership, and a pledge that the right to bear arms will never be removed. Support gay marriage. Disable affirmative-action.
Political: Something in-line with the historical Whigs. Independent. A commitment to trim government's excess fat, and keep it as small as possible but still allowing it to complete its essential needs. Meritoracy; a society built atop social mobility. A vibrant representative democracy where transparency is promoted. An 'invisible' third party ready to seize votes if government fails to fulfil its tasks.
Military: Maintain a capable military; and protect overseas interests. Voluntary service.
Economic: A market-based economy with a transparent approach to business: encourage growth and innovation. Fairly centrist. Absolute pledge to fiscal responsibility and reform. Goal of a balanced budget and a confident approach by a central bank. Aim to make England an innvestment hub: progressive taxation, scaled to lift the burden off of the middle class. Tax exemption for small businesses during their establishing years. A system of social welfare, but drastically reformed compared to present day. Simplify the tax code and eliminate loopholes. Adherence and commitment to sustainable energy. Universal healthcare, public education and a strong, guiding-hand by the state in the economy. Policies favouring small businesses and a commitment to encouraging entrepreneurship. Modified protectionism; with the aim of keeping the UK competitive on a global scale. Heavy investment in public infrastructure; investment in science and maths programs.
Foreign policy: Approach diplomatic relations in a pragmatic and level-headed manner. Establish honourable trading partners and strong economic links. Ally with countries committed to peace and democracy. Reduce foreign aid, but keep some form of it, although with strict criteria (democracy, aiming for peace, etc). Regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict: support a two-state solution, with Israel releasing territory won from the 1967 war, and paying token compensation. Overall, initiate a foreign policy which aims to increase stability and prosperity for England.
