We believe every person deserves the freedom to direct their own life—and the material security to make that freedom real.

No one should live at the mercy of an unaccountable government, an exploitative employer, a monopoly, or inherited poverty. We seek a society in which power is shared, cooperation is voluntary, and everyone has a meaningful voice in the decisions that shape their lives.

1. Your life belongs to you.

We defend freedom of speech, conscience, association, bodily autonomy, and privacy. Government must not dictate whom people love, what they believe, or how they peacefully live. These liberties belong equally to our opponents.

2. Democracy must reach the workplace.

People deserve a voice where they spend their working lives. We support independent unions, worker cooperatives, employee ownership, and the right to organise without retaliation. Public policy should make it easier for workers to buy and govern their businesses.

3. A secure foundation makes freedom possible.

Everyone should have access to health care, education, food, and shelter. We support universal guarantees administered with public accountability, individual choice, and as little bureaucracy as possible. Receiving help must never require surrendering dignity or privacy.

4. Concentrated power must answer to the people.

We oppose corporate privileges, monopoly, political favouritism, and public subsidies that enrich the well-connected. We support small businesses, independent enterprise, and cooperative ownership. Markets should remain open to newcomers, with firm protections against fraud, coercion, and pollution.

5. Decisions belong close to the people affected.

We favour local self-government and institutions people can understand, challenge, and change. Broader government has a duty to protect equal rights, maintain universal guarantees, and address problems that cross local borders. No community may use local autonomy to deny another person’s freedom.

6. Public authority must earn public trust.

Government budgets, contracts, and decisions should be open to scrutiny. We demand meaningful limits on surveillance, strong protections for whistleblowers, due process, and an end to policing for profit. Public officials must face enforceable rules against corruption and conflicts of interest.

7. We will fund our commitments openly and fairly.

Universal guarantees require shared contributions. We favour progressive taxation that asks more of those with the greatest resources, reduces burdens on low incomes, and captures gains from land speculation, monopoly, and pollution. Every public expenditure must be open to review.

8. The living world is a shared inheritance.

Everyone has a right to clean air, safe water, and a liveable planet. Those who cause environmental damage must bear its costs. We support community energy, conservation, and a transition that gives affected workers a direct role and a secure future.

9. Peace is a condition of freedom.

We oppose wars of choice, unchecked executive war powers, and the erosion of civil liberties in the name of security. We favour diplomacy, refuge for people fleeing persecution, and international cooperation grounded in equal human dignity.

10. Our means must reflect our ends.

We pursue change through democratic organising, peaceful protest, mutual aid, elections, and building institutions people can join freely. We reject political violence, one-party rule, and the suppression of dissent.

We do not promise a society without disagreement. We propose a society where disagreement does not threaten anyone’s livelihood, rights, or place in the community.

Our task is to build institutions that make domination harder and self-government practical: in our neighbourhoods, our workplaces, and our public life.

Freedom for every person. Power shared by all.
