National Debate 2012 - Time Line

Hi All,

The National Debate objective is to find viable and practical solutions to social and economic inequality. It's a massive task, massive. There will be times that we will seem to be going nowhere BUT together we can do it!!

From now until February, we are in the preparation stage. We are finishing off the website (please register - Clicky here!!) and making contact with experts.

From February, we are doing information gathering. Finding specific social and economical problems. There will be many. This should last 8 weeks.

In April, we will go into the actual debate. This is when we bring in experts and stakeholders to help find viable solutions to the problems found.

This will last the best part of 6 months.

In October - December we will try to tie everything together to produce a "manifesto" which will be called something like "The Viable alternative"...Or something along those lines.

We will make the "manifesto" open in that any stakeholders can use it freely.

2011 was the year of the protestor. 
2012 is the year of the solution provider. 

National Debate 2012-Why?

National Debate 2012-Finding the solutions to Social and Economic Inequality

Why? 

This national debate comes straight of the back on the Occupy Movement and other people who I respect. The repeated criticism of the Occupy Movement was that they have done a fantastic job at raising awareness but haven't came forward with detailed plans aimed at finding solutions. That is what our ambition, our aim.

How? 

We have been in contact with many experts, politicians, business leaders, political movement and any other stakeholder. The vast majority have replied positively.

We shall spend the first month or two, identifying specific problems in our society that is caused by economic and social inequality.

That will be our informations gathering stage

From those problems, we will try to find workable solutions. This will take around 4-6 months. 

Once that is completed we will spend the remainder of the time bringing the solutions into one joined up proposal.

Who will receive this Proposal?  

Anybody who wants it. 

PoliticsUK are running the National Debate, what will PoliticsUK get out off this?

PoliticsUK will hopefully get exposure and a degree of legitimacy.

What do I get from this?

I believe our society is unfair. This is not a political problem but a social problem,  I also believe that we are the intelligence as a nation to find solutions.

If you have any more questions, don't be scared to ask.
