13. Local Young People
We would like to ensure that all children not yet in
primary school have a proper head start on the
work set by the national curriculum, but also
accept that many parents feel it is unreasonable to
pressure their offspring into education too early
during development.
Therefore, we will campaign for funding to put
our ‘Young Discoverer’ scheme. This will follow

known in Steiner schools, and is a more relaxed

18. Discrimination & Rights
We support the pledge that regardless of
any minority, whether it is sexual, ethnic,
or otherwise, people should be allowed to
have the same rights to support, work
and engage in our diverse society as any
other person.
In order to make sure this happens; we
will not only carry forward the typical
promise to raise awareness, but also make
sure those who are discriminated against
know how to deal with the pressures.
Information packs will be readily
available informing citizens about the
help they can find, from having someone
to tell their worries, to reporting a serious
offence.
There is no reason why even one person
should suffer from discrimination. See the
extract from the Human Rights
Declaration below.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration,
without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion,
political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political,
jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person
belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other
limitation of sovereignty.

19. Local Education
Finding it fishy.
-Action in Parliament:
1. Give teachers and head teachers more power and freedom to teach as
well as regulating classroom behaviour. A ‘standard curriculum’
rather than a ‘national curriculum’.
2. -‘Nice and Fed, Sport and Bed’ scheme for primary school children
which will encourage healthy eating, fitness and a long sleep every
night. We will use local celebrities as positive role models.
-Local Action:
5. Mentoring between Primary-Secondary students and Secondary-
College students for students to gain skills in leadership,
independence, educating which employers will value.
6. Feedback system for students to say what they want their school to
give them via our online feedback project (see ‘Local Feedback’).
7. Start Pupil’s Voices to encourage students to have a say in their own
school/college by increasing the power of the student council.
8. Start Parent’s Voices to encourage parents to engage in their child’s
educational community. This will allow parents and teachers to liaise
and improve the overall standard of each school/college.

21. Environment
We fully support green policies as one of
our three main ideologies. As you have
read through this manifesto you will
hopefully have noticed how many of the
other sections have strong links to a self-
sufficient, workable and economically
sound environmental infrastructure- the
low-pollution train service for example.
Another environmental point briefly
touched upon in our ‘Local Communities’
section was that of allotments. Not only
do they save you money, they also allow
us to support local businesses as it means
you will be buying less fruit and
vegetables from chain stores, and it will
reduce the air miles that are created when
produce is shipped in from abroad. We
plan, if elected, to launch a local
campaign to encourage the growth of
your own food, as they did in the Second
World War with great success.
Our other main promise will be to
connect with Transition Towns, a
movement in Cambridge that deals with
issues such as alternative energy
production methods and a vision of a
mostly self-sufficient society. By
transferring these visions into our own
manifesto we can work with their
experienced experts to foster
environmental communities all over
Cambridge.

24. Ambitions
Pictures from http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/public/images/ward_map.gif and http://
www.picturesofengland.com/images/mapofengland/east-anglia-map.gif
Initially, gain voters from
Cambridge wards and have
increasing political influence and
power locally.
When we are the parliamentary
representative party from
Cambridge, we will consider
expanding out into East Anglia.
We will target seats in
Cambridgeshire, and further
north.
Our long term aim is to become
the fourth largest political party
in Britain. We will follow the aim
through with a mixture of loyalty
to constituents, quick and
popular action on key issues,
increasing national support, and
enthusiasm to implement our
ideals on a national and global
scale.
Cambridge is the start of
something much, much better-
A better society.
