| Peter Ford Workers Party of Britain Email: info@workerspartybritain.org Facebook X  | “[Our policy] the main plank of it is the demand for a National Referendum on Net Zero in order to have a proper national debate on its socio-economic effects and, in particular, its anti-progressive distributional effects on the working class population. We do not and never have got involved in scientific debates about climate change. We respect evidence-based policy formation while being aware of and dubious concerning the emergence of the manipulation of agenda by special interests as a standard feature of late liberal capitalist society. As things stand today, were such a referendum to take place, we would argue for the abandonment of meaningless and counter-productive managerialist ‘targets’ (including the 2050 target and all others mentioned below) and a more holistic approach to environmental issues that looked at national sustainability in terms of two of our core principles – socialism and the working class interest. We would tend to emphasise adaptation and resilience as responses to climate change which humanity has had to face many times in the past and will face many times in the future.” Statement verified by candidate: Yes |
