I'm joining the party in order to form an extremist splinter faction that will reject the revisionism of incorporating "good ideas from across the spectrum." We will denounce the compromised leaders, bought out by Big Politics, and split off to form a new party that only accepts the "better ideas from NONPOL."
Our new party will have a hard rule that anyone who engages in any form of politics, or otherwise deviates from the party line, will be immediately purged. We will also amend the seventh plank to read, "Replace bad ideas with good ideas, and replace good ideas with better ideas."
I love this lol
"Replace bad ideas with good ideas"
Damn why hadn't anyone else thought of that
They were probably thinking "Keep bad ideas bad".
Rookie mistake, but typical for the political types
yeah halfway down they bring up "wokeism" lmaoooo
replace all bad ideas with good ideas
I say
"I've come up with this new ideology called 'Goodism' where we just do good things (my ideas) and not do bad things (other peoples ideas)."
Replace all bad ideas with good ideas? Why didn't anyone else think of this?
I like how that's only #7 and is countered by the triangle showing the good ideas being replaced with better ideas.
It’s honestly a little hilarious how everyone to the left of hitler needs to kiss the rings of all the prejudices of the normies before expressing their opinion or else they’re called “elitist” or “sanctimonious”.
But chuds are literally the idea of “everyone is worthless except me and the world would be better off without everyone except me.” and they never get flak for screeching “we are omniscient! All our opinions are facts!” 24/7.
I deadass feel like just doubling down on the “elitist” angle just to let them know the feeling’s mutual.
Right?! Just goes to show how bad politicians are at having good ideas.
honestly. it's just crazy enough to work.
Who decides what the "Good ideas across the spectrum" are mf
Also "Unite the kingdom" sounds like a threat to everyone that isn't England
think this is obvious satire
check the website
it's not
- Make the country self sufficient.
All organisms eventually become crabs.
All politics eventually become juche.
Ahh shit -
- Replace all bad ideas with good ideas
How did we not think of that? Because until now we’ve been trying to just have more bad ideas as nobody thought of using good ideas.
WAITER GET OVER HERE THERES A CONSERVATISM IN MY CENTRISM
I'm very sorry that comes with the order, I'll get you a new plate of centrism with no conservatism right away
returns with a plate with nothing but a garnish
this is not even politics, this is a cargo cult version of politics
That's what I originally wanted to title this as, or just copypasting the definition of a 4th stage simulacrum, but the more I read from their website the more I realised this is high-level theory in the way timecube was. They've thought long and hard about incoherent babyshit.
Well, it is the Non-Political Party.
"Use common sense" is the new dogwhistle for discriminating minorities. Seen it on many anti LGBTQ and anti immigrant candidates here in the states.
There it is. CW racism, misogyny, queerphobia.

You want to be rid of "canel culture" yet you also want to dismantle or cancel
.... and you claim to be against wokism despite the fact your "Anthem" is titled "Wake Up."
Also like how DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS are bolded which are American parties while the UK parties are kind of in the background.
Is this a UK attempt at MAGA Communism?
lol reminds me of Andrew Yang and his "forward" party.
https://nonpol.com/manifesto-the-economy/
Somehow with a worse economic policy:
-
Every business in the UK will be open 24/7, like hospitals.
-
Providing full employment with all the new job listings, 4 day workweek
-
"Technology will be a major factor here. One benefit from the pandemic was the flexibility to work from home. Going forward all wheelchair and home bound people can have a full career working from home. With the growth of AI, quantum computing and robots. A lot of mundane, repetitive, difficult and dangerous work can be carried out through technology. NONPOL is a technology party and will use technology to support workers and the economy. Machines are reliable, don’t take sickies, are consistent, accurate and don’t strike for a pay rise. For those frightened of AI, we would enforce the Asimov rules of Robotics, so, no fear of Terminators." - Replacing all of those workers with machines that don't take sickies or strike for a pay raise.
-
Banning phones, history, and geography courses in schools
-
Nationalising all basic industries, but not like British Rail. This allows banning strikes and paying workers based on productivity
-
Remove all social benefits, require their repayment when you die
-
Tax all Chinese students for COVID.

At least Andrew Yang's platform boiled down to "we're going to bribe you to not shoot CEOs in the street."
Banning phones, history, and geography courses in schools
lol not even a white washed history, just fuck it all. the past? never happened. critical support for this party in getting an entire state to wholeheartedly embrace Last Thursdayism.
For those frightened of AI, we would enforce the Asimov rules of Robotics
It comes as little surprise but this simply is not how an LLM works or could ever work
It's not even how the Three Laws of Robotics works. Asimov wrote quite a lot on how unintended interactions between them could render them pointless.
Asimov himself explained why the rules don't work.
Was going to get mad about
Tax all Chinese students for COVID
But then it ended on

No elaboration, no punctuation, just

- Control of Fiat and digital currencies
As a technology party, NONPOL embraces technological advancements, such as AI, Quantum Computing, Blockchain and Bitcoin if they are used intelligently. In particular a countries currency is critical to its economic health. The UK has successfully managed to keep the pound and it is one of the most respected currencies on the planet; however now that the gold reserve no longer exists, as a fiat currency it is still fragile. We have no contingency should our currency become devalued or affected by external market forces. We expect this not to happen if we have built a solid and growing economy. However, we should have a contingency. Currently most countries are opposed to Bitcoin, as they have no control over it and do not like its anonymity. This is narrowmindedness. It is the flexibility and anonymity that makes it an attractive investment. If the UK builds a car, does it matter if it is bought with fiat currency or Bitcoin? It is still a sale and Bitcoin is highly fungible. The blockchain concept is a great technological advancement, for many reasons. In order to embrace this technology, NONPOL would start a GB bitcoin, which would be very different to the Bank of England digital pound currently being planned. The digital pound is still controlled by the bank, our GB bitcoin would use the same bitcoin technology as other crypto currencies and remain anonymous. This would give the economy 2 currencies that can provide growth, contingency and promote global trade with the UK. Also, there are major benefits in the crypto currency secondary markets, which trade like any other commodity. We would set up a UK GB Bitcoin trading platform for anyone to trade our crypto currency anonymously. There would be huge revenues from such a platform. Furthermore, if international customers bought British goods with our crypto currency, we would earn money on the export duty. More avenues to bolster the economy.
They've written this whole ass five dollar paragraph to say "oi, wot if bitcoin." It has the same exact vibe to me as Trump's crypto shit where he doesn't bother to pretend he knows what any of it means.
Wow, everything's computer!
this is quality slop
'Okay, Ideas from across the spectrum. What ideas are you taking from the communists?'
"Uh...drab jumpsuits for everyone?"
'Okay...what ideas are you taking from the fascists?'
"Oh, pretty much everything else"
I kind of hate that Dugin pointed this out, but this is true for both liberals and chuds.
They like to paint themselves not as politics, but the absence of politics. Notice how of course they claim they support free speech but “wokeness” is considered too unacceptable of an idea to be allowed and must be made illegal to support.
Not me in 2028 being arrested because I DIDN’T commit any hate crimes.

- Replace bad ideas with good ideas
Lol
A few years back one of the smaller parties in my country had election posters up that just said "dare to be more reasonable/go for the reasonable solutions" (or something to that effect) and that fucking poster almost broke me. Like first of all, all politics here is already completely made under the banner of "reason" and second of all there are entire philosophers whose entire work only consists of proofing that there isn't such a thing as "pure reason" that you can just invoke out of nowhere as if it was some actual pre-existing thing
based in stratford-upon-avon
shakespeare is proud i'm sure of their literacy
This just seems like some sort of weird 'small business' libertarianism
UP politics
non political
Edit: when you elect the anti politics party to run the government and you ask for help
NONPOL wants to follow 3 simple concepts when we come up with manifesto ideas:
- All ideas have to be based on Common Sense; not what politics, habit or laziness have made us used to. Where people say, ‘That will never work’ we want to change it to ‘How can we make that work?’.
- All ideas must be supported with empirical data or solid logical arguments. Where there are competing ideas that have similar merit, the idea sponsor will need to argue his point and our members will vote on and agree a single accepted idea.
So, common sense ideas that are based on empirical data...right
