The Positive Progress Party

Welcome to the beginnings of a new political party. For many years now I have contemplated the thought of helping people. Not just helping certain disadvantaged groups within our society, but helping by making a greater positive impact on all people's lives.

This has lead me to ask this fundamental question:

"What is it that we can do today that makes our life, and the lives of our young, better tomorrow?"  

This is a highly philosophical question, one that I have given a tremendous amount of thought. It is this question that we need to find an answer to so that everyone may live meaningful lives, while also contributing towards improvements and advancements for the next generation and every generation that follows. This, I propose is the fundamental goal for all global citizens to strive towards. 

Welcome to the Positive Progress Party (PPP)

Here are some of the core priorities of the party: 

- Protecting and improving the environment.

- Protecting and improving human health, especially mental health. 

- That all people need to contribute to community, country and the world by being actively involved in employment.    

- The majority of government expenditure is directed towards augmenting the above three points. 

- Favour democratic governance.

- People who do not meet predetermined acceptable levels of health and community contribution are provided with support. 

- Government is responsible for providing a form of employment instead of welfare support to able individuals. 

- We learn from the past to move forward to a better tomorrow. 

- Fairness and equity across our society.
