The Alliance wants the government to take back ownership of key services like electricity, railways, and water. They want stronger protections for workers so pay and conditions improve, especially for low-paid workers. They also want a fairer tax system where people who earn money from assets pay more, so the government can fund free education, healthcare, and support economic development.
“Achieving this means returning to public ownership and control of key national and local assets, especially of water, electricity, telecommunications, railways, coastal shipping, ports, and airports.”
“A modern tax system should alleviate the tax burden on working people and make the wealthy who earn their income from assets pay their fair share.”
“The Alliance will end the gravy train for uncompetitive employers: businesses will be expected to invest and innovate instead of taking a short-cut to profitability by short-changing their workers.”
