{"product_id":"2940150153271","title":"2015 General Election Manifesto","description":"The human rights of men and boys in the United Kingdom have been increasingly assaulted by the state's actions and inactions for over 30 years, as they have across much of the developed world. Justice for men \u0026amp; boys (and the women who love them) is the only political party in the English-speaking world campaigning for the human rights of men and boys, including the right of all children to enjoy good access to both parents following family breakdowns, and the restoration of fatherhood and strong families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe British state has become ever more hostile towards men and boys, although the state is largely funded by men, through income tax receipts. Men collectively pay 72%, and women 28%, of the income taxes collected by the state. In 2011\/12 British men paid £68 billion - £68,000,000,000 - more income tax than women, yet the state disadvantages men and boys in many areas, usually to advantage women and girls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are no areas in which the state disadvantages women and girls. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA state which is hostile towards half its citizens also affects women who are mothers of boys, or who are men's partners, relatives, colleagues, friends or acquaintances. In the case of abortion, foetal alcohol syndrome, and fatherlessness, girls (including those yet unborn) are also assaulted by the actions and inactions of the state. The result is both inevitable and predictable - an ever more dysfunctional society, with increasing alienation of the sexes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this manifesto we provide details of the state's disadvantaging of men and boys in 20 areas, and we make proposals in each of them. The areas are presented in a broadly chronological order:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbortion\u003cbr\u003eFoetal alcohol syndrome    \u003cbr\u003eGenital mutilation    \u003cbr\u003eFatherlessness, restoring strong families  \u003cbr\u003eEducation    \u003cbr\u003eEmployment     \u003cbr\u003eAccess to children after family breakdowns \u003cbr\u003eDomestic violence    \u003cbr\u003eSexual abuse     \u003cbr\u003eArmed Forces veterans' mental health issues \u003cbr\u003eHomelessness\u003cbr\u003eSuicide\u003cbr\u003eCriminal justice system\u003cbr\u003ePaternity fraud\u003cbr\u003eAnonymity for suspected sexual offenders\u003cbr\u003eDivorce\u003cbr\u003eHealth\u003cbr\u003ePolitical representation\u003cbr\u003eState interference in company director appointments\u003cbr\u003eExpectation of retirement years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe social engineering programmes which seek equality of gender outcomes are having an increasingly damaging impact on British society, and the Conservative-led coalition is no less keen on driving those programmes than the preceding Labour administrations. We have a vision of Britain as a nation that doesn't disadvantage half its citizens. A society in which men and women have equal opportunities but are able to make their own choices in life, without state intervention to advantage one sex over the other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's said that under the 'first past the post' system, votes for parties other than the major parties are wasted, but voting is the only mechanism democracy affords citizens to seriously challenge politicians who embrace the all-pervading anti-male ideology which has dictated the state's policy directions for over 30 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major parties are institutionally committed to advantaging women and girls at the expense of men and boys, regardless of the consequences, as we recognized after engaging in parliamentary inquiries which demonstrated that the government simply doesn't respond to rational arguments against anti-male policy directions. The only choice for citizens concerned about the state's assaults on the human rights of men and boys is to vote - and to vote for J4MB.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the short to medium term, our challenge is to improve public understanding about the state's assaults on the human rights of men and boys. We do that in various ways, including the use of social media. Our television and radio appearances may be found on our YouTube channel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur longer term strategy, however, is to develop our party to the point that we can field many candidates in general elections, in marginal constituencies, where the major parties are vulnerable. They will then have no choice but to take heed of the voices we represent, engage with us, and seek to appease them by modifying their policies, and their direction of travel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the 2015 general election we'll be fielding three candidates in adjacent constituencies near Nottingham where, in 2010, MPs were elected with very slim majorities:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- I'll be standing in Ashfield, where Gloria De Piero retained the seat for Labour with 192 more votes than a Liberal Democrat candidate. She's the Shadow Minister for Women \u0026amp; Equalities. \u003cbr\u003e- Ian Young, formerly a victim of domestic violence, will be standing against a Conservative, Mark Spencer, in Sherwood. Ian lives in the constituency, in Hucknall.\u003cbr\u003e- Ray Barry, leader of the campaign group Real Fathers for Justice, will be standing against another Conservative, Anna Soubry, in Broxtowe.","brand":"LPS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149300842736,"sku":"2940150153271","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150153271_p0.jpg?v=1763746467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150153271","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
