POLICIES IN ORDER OF MERIT
TAXATION
Taxation raised in England should primarily be used for the good and benefit of the people of England.
INDEPENDENCE
Pride in being British is long gone. Devolution was the last nail in the coffin. So many other nationalists within the un-United Kingdom wish independence for their nations. The huge subsidies paid by the taxpayers of England to maintain the "British Status Quo" is of no consequence to other nations in Britain. Scotland, in particular, is all but independent now. With its own parliament, separate system of law, education etc. The English, however, continue to pick up the bill. Enough is enough. Independence for England would be of huge benefit to the English nation. Free from this costly British sentiment, England has the ability to prosper as it does now, as it has always done.
INDEPENDENCE REFERENDA
The EFN believe that independence for England, Scotland and Wales is inevitable. However no steps could be taken without an approving referendum of the people of England, Scotland and Wales by a decisive majority of those voting.
MONARCHY
The Crown (Kingship) is the rock of English nationhood. The EFM is loyal to the Crown of England.
ST. GEORGE'S DAY
This is England's national day and should be celebrated as such.
THE ENGLISH RACE
The English enjoy national origins with our own geographical and historical roots, as do other nations. Whilst the EFM is not a racist movement, we are unashamedly proud and patriotic about the English nation and Englishness.
ENGLISHNESS
Over the years national English culture has been relatively tolerant. Infusions of different ethnic groups have in the past enriched our society. The EFM welcomes those who will contribute and integrate. We at the EFM believe, through experience, that integration and contribution is the key to acceptance and harmonious relationships. "WHEN IN ROME".
Traditional English culture as the host culture, should by birthright have pride of place in England. Just as other countries teach their culture and history, so English schools should promote English culture and history.
IMMIGRATION
The EFM view is that Asylum and Residency Law is outdated and open to abuse. We favour the Australian model, based on the proposed immigrants ability to benefit the nation. The EFM supports vigorous law enforcement for the deportation of illegal immigrants.
LAW AND ORDER
Our very experienced, but shackled police force should be allowed to do its job.
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
The EFM view our Justice System chaotic and in need of radical overhaul. The EFM respects the rights of the victims of crime to defend themselves and their property.
EUROPEAN UNION
We at the EFM do not view the English nation as being European. Furthermore, we do not think that is would be in the best interests of the English nation to be within the European Union.
As Winston Churchill said: "There should be a united Europe, but England should stand aside." National powers are increasingly being transferred to unelected Eurocrats in Brussels, most of whom are failed politicians. This unelected corrupt bunch of federalist bureaucrats would strip member countries of their national identity, destroy national constitutions and sovereignty.
As the beef crisis has demonstrated, the two principle nations of the European Union only obey EU law when it suits them. Historically, there are nations around us "who will make road upon us with all advantages". Switzerland, Singapore, Norway, Hong Kong all run very successful FREE Trade Economies, free from any form of "union". England has always been a free trade nation and can do just as well
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE
The EFM supports the traditional provision of medical services through the National Health Service. Improvements could be made by streamlining the bureaucracy and the services clinically administered.
EDUCATION
The EFM supports the view that all primary and secondary schools be run independently by elected governors, head teachers and staff.
The EFM supports parental choice.
The EFM supports state funding of Higher and continuing education.
The EFM supports the work of The Schools Inspectorate to monitor and report the quality of education.
THE WELFARE STATE
The EFM firmly believe that the Welfare Provision is an integral and much valued part of our national life. We support the free market, employment creation, inward and foreign investment and full employment.
Able-bodied English nationals of working age would be expected to work. Income support would provide the "safety net" for those requiring additional support.
Disabled English nationals have the right to work and would be assisted to do so. The "safety net" applies.
Those unfortunates too disabled to work would be guaranteed a living wage. The "safety net" applies.
Fraud and abuse within the system is costing the English taxpayer billions of pounds. There are currently millions more National Insurance numbers surplus to requirements. In our view to eliminate fraud and duplication, the National Insurance Number system should be corrected. Once corrected, no one without a valid National Insurance Number should be allowed to work, or claim any sort of benefit.
Correcting the National Insurance Number system would benefit all people legally entitled to reside in England. Apart from reducing home-grown fraud, it would also greatly reduce the incentives for economic migrants and bogus refugees.
REFERENDA - NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
The EFM believes that any major policy decision which directly effects the lives of the English nation should be referred to the electorate in Referenda. The Government acts according to these results. The result is legally binding as the will of the people. Referenda would prevent measures unacceptable to the public being pushed through, for selfish reasons. Our system of government today allows power to Governments/Parties for whom only a minority of the electorate have voted. This current minority party government is determined, against the majority wishes of the people to repeal Section 28, scrap the £, commit us to the political mess of the EU, and of course, devolution. This Government's obsession with minority rights has been amply demonstrated. The promotion of minority issues is designed, we are told, to build a fair and tolerant society. The EFM's view is that it is creating the reverse effect. The values English nationals have fought for are priceless. Every legal resident of England has the right to voice a point of view. Referenda are the will of the people.
FOREIGN POLICY
International law states: that States should not interfere within the sovereign territory of other states. We at the EFM agree with this. Foreign Policy should be conducted solely with the English national interest in mind.
DEFENCE
The EFM supports membership of NATO. England's Armed Forces should only be actively engaged in defending the English national interest. The Ghurka Brigade would be asked to stay as an integral part of England's Armed Forces.
AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES
Support, value and re-define.
TRADITIONAL FIELDSPORTS, PASTIMES AND CLUBS
The EFM vigorously opposes state interference in traditional field sports, pastimes or clubs or to curtail the liberties of those who wish to pursue the same.
