The National Conservative Party was formed to promote traditional Conservative values and principles and is dedicated to;
The meaning of Democracy is, “Power of the People” or “Rule by the People.” This doctrine should be reflected in how the Country is run, “Government of the People, by the People, for the People.” Unfortunately, today’s so-called democracies are little more than elected dictatorships, with politicians promising the earth, but once elected, completely ignoring the wishes of the people, and doing whatever they like. The people are then left with no option, but to put up with the Government, until the next election. Where the whole unsatisfactory saga repeats itself again.
It is imperative, if we are to have a civil society, that the people must have the power over their government. The statement “Politicians are our servants and not our masters” is often banded about, but the truth is, the politician acts like they are the master and we the people should learn our place and be quiet. This is most exemplified by the way in which politicians answer questions. They simply don’t provide an answer of any merit, as if they know best and its none of our business to know. This arrogance needs to end and all politicians must provide full and frank answers to any question that the public or their representative asks. Politicians must always remember that they are our servants and we the people are their masters. They are in parliament to do our bidding and run the country efficiently; and if they cannot or will not then they need to go, sooner rather than later.
The lack of transparency is a major factor contributing to the decline of the country. Governments, politicians’ and public servants can make decisions in secret and borrow money to fund projects that have never been fully disclosed to the public. The same public which end-up wearing the debt burden that ultimately ensues, because of the incompetence of the plan and or its poor implementation. The public have a right to know what our politicians are doing and especially what they are spending our money on. The public should be consulted on proposed major spending plans, to gauge opinion and seek approval. It is far too easy for a politician to commit the country to something that often sees the costs blow out and increases the nation’s debt. Full transparency of the treasury and every other government department is essential, if we are serious about controlling the nation’s debt.
It is far too easy for Governments to act irresponsibility and incompetently and get away with it. Errors and mistakes are simply covered up and forgotten about. Money just vanishes without a trace and the stock standard answer is, “I don’t recall that.” In any other areas of life or business, this would simply not be accepted, and yet, politicians have turned this obfuscation into an art form. They will not think twice about lying to cover up for their mistakes if they can get away with it. And why is this the case, simple, there is no proper accountability of our politicians or public servants. We need to bring in a strict code of accountability, so that politicians can be held fully accountable for all their actions. There must be serious consequences for politicians that abuse their office or are simply utterly incompetent and drive the country onto the rocks.
