The Central Alliance Party believes in transcending political ideologies in order to produce the best policies for making Britain a better and fairer place.

The Central Alliance Party was founded in 2002.  We are a political party in the United Kingdom.  We do not ascribe to any particular political ideology, but we try to take the best aspects of each ideology in order to form a kind of hybrid ideology.  In this, we believe that we can offer the best set of policies to improve the UK.  Our core beliefs are as follows:

1. No single political ideology carried out in it's purest form can ever be successful (Communism and Thatcherism being two examples of this).
   This is probably our most fundamental belief.  It has been proved throughout history that trying to apply one ideology to a country in it's purest form does not work.  Communism failed in the Soviet Union; Pure socialism, which in effect existed in the UK between 1945 & 1979, failed; Thatcherism, which followed socialism, has failed.  These are only a few examples of the failure of pursuing a pure ideology.  CentrAll seeks to apply a mixture of ideologies, taking the best aspects of each.
   
   

2. Social problems cannot be separated from economic problems.  Problems in society cause problems in the economy and vice versa.  Eradication of poverty would virtually eradicate problems such as crime, and eradicating social problems would have a very beneficial effect on the economy.
   This is another of our most fundamental beliefs.  When you look at the areas with the highest crime rates in the UK, you find that they also have the most poverty and the highest unemployment.  It is impossible to separate poverty and deprivation from problems (particularly crime) in society.  The British economy has failed the poorest in society, and in turn the poorest are failing the economy.  If the problem of poverty could be addressed, the cost to the state caused by crime could be reduced, and the unemployed could be put to good use by working.  This would benefit both the economy and those who are unemployed.
   
   

3. Everyone will get back what they contribute to society many times over.
   Even if people put just a little into society, they will get benefits.  By helping others, people also help themselves.
   
   

4. Each member of society has a duty to look after the other members.  This is not just socialism it is common sense.
   
   

5. Those who are rich have a duty to help those who are worse off than themselves.  In the long run this brings benefits to all people.
   Because so many problems in society are caused by poverty and desperation, the rich would benefit from helping the poorest in society because they would not be the victims of so much crime.  The rich would also benefit from the more prosperous economy caused by reducing unemployment and getting more people into work.
   
   

6. We need wealth creation before wealth redistribution, but never wealth creation on its own.  Similarly, we need self-help before state help, but never self-help on its own.
   It is impossible to redistribute wealth that has not already been created, and it is important that people have incentives to create wealth.  But without a certain amount of wealth redistribution inequality becomes unacceptable.
   
   

7. No one must be denied the right to self-improvement, but those who improve themselves have a duty to help others improve themselves.
   
   

8. If we look after our environment, it will look after us.  If we do not look after our environment, it will destroy us.
   The environment will soon be the most important problem facing the human race.  If we do not take steps to reduce damage to it, it will destroy us.  Action must be taken now, for it will be too late when the damage has been done.
   
   

9. Short term pain for long term gain.
   Long time benefits are usually far greater than short term losses.
   
   

10. Everyone is born with both rights and responsibilities and both are equally important.
    We live in a country where everyone seems to know their rights but few seem to know their responsibilities.  Rights are important, but responsibilities are just as important.

These core beliefs show a mixture of socialist, capitalist and green thinking.  They are incorporated into our Party constitution.
