Policies

The SDP’s National New Deal is a programme for growth and renewal.

We want a strong economy and a fair society. 

We want every part of Britain to grow and prosper which requires a strong and capable state and a vigorous economy. 

Our policies flow logically from the aims and values set out in the New Declaration published in 2018.  Contrary to the claims of modern-day liberals and libertarians people do not exist in isolation. We are all part of multi-layered communities.  Consequently, we believe in strengthening family, community and nation – the places where we work together for the common good.  We exercise rights but we also have responsibilities and our programme reflects this across a broad range of policies.

We are proud to call ourselves social democrats.  Greater individual responsibility, trust and social solidarity will, we believe, make Britain a happier and more productive nation.
