    Agenda – Values and Principles for future UK Society  

    • What should our values and principles for UK society be, to guide our future decision-making and to steer the country in the right direction over the next 20 years? 
    • Analysing events and party positions, including the recent mini-budget, what underlying values and principles do we like and not like?
    • What will be the consequences (good and bad) and possible unintended consequences of the Government’s policies? What does this say about our values and principles?
    • If we were a party what values and principles would we say to the country that we stood for?
    • Building on the Values and Principles in our Manifesto of Ideas, do we still consider these appropriate and what others would we add?
    • Is it time to articulate a set of Values and Principles, Rights and Responsibilities, which reflect the country as a whole and provide a framework for all future politicians?  

     

    Inputs

    Our document A Manifesto for Society in the AI Future has a set of underlying Values and Principles on its last page. 

    The British Citizenship test also contains some high-level values which are a good backdrop. See Chapter 1: Values and Principles of the UK -> Britishcitizenshiptests.co.uk

    However, it has formed the input to and been largely replaced by a Considered Proposal on the subject which is available at Values and Principles for Future UK Society
