The Peasants are revolting

The Landless Peasant Party is a new political party representing the views and aspirations of Landless Peasants in the UK.

The UK is not our nation , we do not own it, the land of the nation is not held for our benefit nor on our behalf.
From the day we are born we are Peasants, with no right to the very essence of our nation.
Yet we are extolled to work, pay tax, fight and if necessary die to defend it.
We are liable for the debts of our nation, we are the mass of people from whom business extracts its profits.
We live in the 24 million homes on 7% of the land, unable to live by our own means.
We have little choice but to take part in economic slavery.

Our basic need for shelter must be provided by market forces supplying our homes to us for as much profit as the market can bear. These homes are not built for you to “live” in ,they are built for you to sleep in after work. They have no means to make energy, there is little or no facility to grow your food. Instead our food is flown in from around the world, manufactured on an industrial scale using the cheap labour of other Peasants in other lands. Our energy is suppllied by hugely profitable multinationals at great expense to us and the Earth. Even the supply of water makes vast profits. Our lives have been reduced to a collection of utility bills and what we do to earn money.

We are educated to take part not to be self reliant, there are no classes in building your home, growing your food, dealing with your waste, making your own energy. Even though these things can be done simply and effectively. We are kept like livestock, wholly dependent on our owners supplying our needs. Our laws and institutions are run by and for the few families who do own the land. 6000 people own 70% of all the land in our nation. Until recently (1914) these were the only people allowed to vote, wield power or hold office.

Our “Democracy” allows us to have a representative in the house of commons, we are still called commoners, we are still Peasants, we might as well be pets. The economy is held up as the pivotal centerpiece of our lives. The economy must grow and we must consume or calamity will befall us, because without its support our lives as Peasants will become all to apparent. What If the banks did fail and business collapsed, what will happen to us?
We will starve like Peasants always have, we will be made to labour for the Lords, as we always have, we will live on the margins of the Land, while those who took it for themselves emerge again as our masters.

To remedy these iniquities Peasants must escape the treadmill of work ,tax and exploitation. It is for this purpose that the LPP exists. To take back the land, to give people the right to live on and from it. To remove the need to “work” for our lives and replace it with a right to have a life. A life where we look after ourselves , provide for ourselves and have no need of masters Lords or owners.

The mission of the Landless Peasant Party UK is to bring about Landocracy – A political and economic system based on equal rights and responsibilities to land. Free people with their own independent means leading self reliant lives, may choose ideologies for themselves. They may trade their surplus, take a job, buy things they dont need. In a Landocracy These things will be a choice not a need.
