Launch of Natural Law Party Manifesto

"Forming a proper government to create a happy, prosperous, problem-free nation"

News Conference

Friday 11th April 1997, 11 a.m. The Marriott Hotel, 500 Argyle Street, Glasgow.

The Natural Law Party's 120-page manifesto presents a unique approach to government. It reveals a full range of practical policies that go right to the heart of the problems in each area of administration, offering effective solutions. This contrasts with the lack of substantial ideas which political commentators have noted in the manifestos of other parties.

Policy areas covered in the manifesto include: education, health, economy, law and justice, agriculture, energy and environment, transport, defence, family and social policy, the arts, European and foreign policy, housing and national planning, the party's policies for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each policy area is supported by scientific studies, many of which are illustrated with charts.

Dr Geoffrey Clements, Party Leader, will show how the Natural Law Party fills the current political vacuum by providing new knowledge for successful government – knowledge that will bring an end to the stalemate between Left and Right. Dr Clements will be speaking by conference telephone from London

Leaders of the Scottish Natural Law Party will guide journalists through the 120-page manifesto in a quick 10-minute tour, including an explanation of some unique Natural Law Party policies such as all-party government, a prevention wing in the military, and the party’s three-point plan to eliminate corruption in government. They will also summarise the Scottish party’s campaign strategy and the give the agenda for the next three weeks until election day.
