EXTRACT FROM MY 2017 MANIFESTO

OUR GLOBAL OBLIGATIONS
Our aim will be to work unceasingly for a better world in which all our fellow humans, in whichever country they happen to live, have the best possible mental and physical well-being.
We will have the same aims and aspirations for our global society as we have for our national society. These will include aspiring to create a caring, compassionate global community, supporting those who need help in any way in any part of the world, and seeking to bring about much more equal individual and family incomes.
We will strive to achieve these aspirations through aiding other countries directly, through supporting their economies, through trade, and through candid and rational discussions about how they should organise their societies. Where necessary we will use sanctions as a means to try and persuade countries to move towards meeting our aspirations.
We will aim to ensure there is no element of exploitation in our economic engagement with other nations.
We will not sell any armaments to other countries.
It will be our mission to help forge a new, much stronger and much more effective role for the United Nations. We will argue for it to become the sole global arbiter in all conflicts. We will want it always to endeavour to find peaceful solutions but, if necessary, want it also to be prepared to take military action to protect those who need protection.
In the longer term we would like to see the role of the United Nations expand still further and become what would be called the Global Congress. This body would represent the views of all nation states and legislate on matters which affected the whole of humanity such as arms reduction, climate change, human rights, fair trade, and currency speculation.
