New Democratic Party Statement of Principles

Top

Our society must change from one based on competition to one based on cooperation.
We wish to create a society where individuals give according to their needs.
We believe present human endeavours must become environmentally sound in order to ensure that future generations may have access to an abundant and diverse biosphere.
Our commitment to the electorate is to be forthright about our long-range goals as well as practical about our short-term political activities.
Our purpose as a movement is to foster social change toward a more cooperative society. Our purpose as a political party is to develop a public mandate for that social change through giving individuals greater control in the economy, their workplace, and their community.
Our actions and words must reflect our fundamental faith in the capacity of people to live cooperatively and to work for the betterment of all.

Note: These principles are on all Manitoba NDP membership cards, signed by party members.
