Non-political adoption - ISP
John Bunzl | 22.02.2002 00:01
While John Bunzl, author of The Simultaneous Policy: an insider's guide to saving humanity and the planet, was in Porto Alegre in January, to present to the World Social Forum his proposal for a "radically innovative approach to solving problems of corporate globalisation that offers win-win solutions for voters, civil society activists, and politicians"
New party Canadian Action Party has decisively marked itself out to the growing people-first globalisation movement within Canadian civil society as the party to vote for in future elections. As increasing numbers of Canadian citizens pledge their willingness to vote only for parties that adopt SP, other political parties will feel obliged to note this important electoral development by following CAP's example.
The International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO), based in London and active in 20 countries, with members in many more, provides a practical framework for the democratic development of a range of measures to re-regulate global capital markets and transnational corporations. The aim is to gradually force politicians around the world to adopt those measures and then, finally, to get them implemented by all, or virtually all, nations simultaneously.
To this end -- as a unique new development among NGOs -- ISPO is establishing the means by which voting members, functioning at national and international levels and interacting with globally respected independent advisers, can evolve effective alternatives to current macro and micro policies. Thus ISPO offers disaffected voters everywhere the opportunity to join a 'parallel democracy' with teeth, which demonstrates to ruling elites that re-election votes are at risk if its proposals are ignored.
ISPO objectives are aimed at creating real choices for voters within an overall vision of improved global governance.
