This page explains what we believe in. As with any group we all have are own individual views, however this page explains our common views and aims for the future.
As we follow the Dorset Stop the War Coalition many of our views are the same as their's. We both follo what is known as the 'DECLARATION OF THE PEOPLES ASSEMBLY FOR PEACE'. Which was passed on 12 March 2003. It says the Assembly:
Believes that no case for war has been made, that the war threatened is in defiance of international law, and holds that it is possible to resolve the present international crisis by exclusively peaceful means
Condemns the British government for its military support, almost alone in the world, for a US-led attack on Iraq and believes that the government has thereby ceased to represent the interests of the British people on this issue While unreservedly condemning the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, and supporting the cause of democracy in all the countries of the Middle East, expresses its solidarity with the civilian Iraqi women, men and children who will be the main victims of any war
Urges Members of Parliament to act in support of this policy of peace, believing that a failure to do so will represent a dereliction of their democratic duty and an abrogation of representative democracy
Believes that in the event of war starting, the Prime Minister should resign
Invites all the British people and their organisations to express their support for this declaration and take whatever action may be required to ensure its adoption as the policy of our country
