| The Peace Party
The Peace Party campaigns to challenge each elector to examine where she or he stands on violence in our society before they vote for Parliaments and Councils in Britain and Europe.
We recognise that it might appear hard to adopt a completely non-violent approach to living. But the examples of the lives of many people, well-known and unknown, around the World and over the last two thousand years or so testify to the rightness of the non-violent way of life. In particular we seek to:
· show love and respect for all life
· be people who are caring and who are compassionate to all
· value unconditionally every member of our community - in Britain, Europe and the World
· be non-violent:
- always work to resolve conflict in peaceful ways,
- do not opt for physical force or confrontation in any circumstance
- refuse to take life, to threaten to take life, whatever the provocation,
- will not allow life to be taken by another;
- refuse to injure, or allow someone else to injure, another in any way;
· acknowledge and observe all human rights - as defined in the United Nations Charter
· be committed to take responsibility for every other individual and group in our society
· be committed to peaceful co-existence with our environment
have real hope for the future
