I am pleased to announce the launch of the Upper Norwood Independence Party (UNIP).

 

The party derives it’s title from the area which it hopes to govern, (Upper Norwood in south-east London). Upper Norwood takes it’s name from the Great North Wood which used to cover much of what now constitutes Upper Norwood.

 

Below is a summary of policies. Please note, this is a living document and as such is subject to change.

 

The Economy:

 

The Upper Norwood Independence Party (UNIP) strives for independence within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As such we advocate for the growth of the forestry sector, which is consistent with the proud traditions of Upper Norwood.

 

We will construct thousands of tree houses which will solve the shortage of homes in Upper Norwood and will also lead to a growth in apprenticeships in the forestry and building sector.

 

Hommes will be constructed from environmentally friendly (recycled wood) and will be accessed by sturdy rope ladders. In order to facilitate accessibility it will be policy that all homes must have alternative access via means of solar powered lifts which will, naturally be constructed of wood.

 

The currency:

 

We will negotiate with Buckingham Palace to obtain permission from King Charles to use his portrait on the Great North Wood notes and coins. In addition, all currency will also be decorated with pictures of tree houses and happy families enjoying themselves amongst the foliage.

 

Housing

 

(Please see “Economy”)

 

Foreign Policy:

 

We will negotiate with the UK government to build tree houses in their embassy grounds which will act as the diplomatic offices for the Upper Norwood government.

 

We aim for independence within the UK and acknowledge King Charles as our lawful sovereign.

 

Equality:

 

We believe in equality for all before the law. Such equality will, of course be extended to trees.
