1. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

Through membership of the European Union, the UN and other supranational organisations and 'Courts', successive British Governments have refused to govern in the interests of the British people. Farmers, fishermen, businessmen, taxpayers and electors find that British ministers have delegated to others the powers which they themselves, because they are elected by us, should use to solve our problems. Increasingly those we elect do not govern us and those who rule us we do not elect and cannot sack. The British people therefore have no democratic control.

If you can only vote for those who don't govern then there is no point in voting, thus the massive growth in the 'Abstention Party'.

1. The distinctive British identity is being deliberately eliminated - for instance by the replacement of the British passport. 
2. The British people no longer control who has right of entry into Britain.
3. British fishing grounds, nurtured for centuries by British fishermen, have been devastated by foreign fishermen. The environmental disaster will take decades to reverse. The British Parliament cannot act in our own territorial waters.
4. For the first time British people are ruled by foreign courts and a political judiciary. Justice and the Law have been divorced and so the British people no longer respect the Law. 
5. Foreign and defence policy is traded by British politicians, regardless of and often contrary to the British interest.

None of these changes to our democratic constitution were made with the authority of the British people. The individual freedoms and the Democratic Right of the British people, forged over centuries of battle at home and abroad are being improperly withheld.

Only by enacting The British Declaration of Independence will we restore the morality of democratic government and the Sovereignty of the British people.

The British Declaration of Independence, by becoming law and asserting the Sovereignty of the British people, solves these problems.

2. WHO CAN YOU VOTE FOR?

Many Candidates who claimed they believed in the Sovereignty of the British people and the democratic powers of our Parliament before they were elected, betrayed those very rights when they got into Parliament. The British people therefore no longer trust any political party in Parliament, nor do they trust individual parliamentary candidates of those parties.

By committing the candidates of the Parliamentary parties to presenting and voting for the BDI Bill (when a majority of MPs is available to pass it into law) the BDI does not rely on trust. Those who sign the BDI commit to resigning if they are frustrated in their undertaking. By resigning on the issue of the Sovereignty of those whom they represent the BDI candidates will then seek a fresh mandate from the people (ie the Sovereigns!).

Many candidates of the Parliamentary parties who do not believe in the sovereignty of the British people have learned how to use the same words as those candidates who DO believe in (and will assert) that Sovereignty. The former will not sign the BDI, the latter will - so you can tell the difference.  

The British Declaration of Independence solves these problems.

3. MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION OF CANDIDATES WHO BELIEVE IN NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY

Perhaps the greatest problem at this General Election of 2005 is that by voting for minority parties not yet in Parliament which DO believe in the Sovereignty of the British people, votes will be taken from genuine democrats in the Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative Parties. The latter will form the bulk of MPs in the next Parliament while for example, the most successful protest party UKIP, at the last election lost 422 of 428 deposits. We could therefore end up with the most anti-democratic, and powerless Parliament in history - just as the people are voting in large numbers for the opposite.

So you need to know whether a Labour, Lib Dem or Tory candidate really will assert your Sovereignty when they get to Parliament.

The British Declaration of Independence solves that problem.
