Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the United Union?

A: A reformed national structure comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and a unified Ireland.
The United Union replaces the outdated institutions of Westminster with a modern constitutional order grounded in law and public service.

Q: Why are full Acts of legislation published on the website?

A: Because this movement is built not on slogans but on completed law.
Every reform proposed has been drafted in full so the public can scrutinise, challenge, and understand precisely how the new system will function.

Q: Is this a political party?

A: No. The Now or Never revolution is not a political party. Political parties compete for power within a broken system. Now or Never exists to replace that system entirely. It is a national movement rooted in the democratic will of the people, dedicated to delivering a structural overhaul of the political system and a new constitutional foundation for the United Union.

Q: Is the Now or Never revolution some form of commercial enterprise?

A: No. The Now or Never revolution is not a commercial enterprise in any form. It is not a business, it does not operate for profit, and it does not exist to generate revenue. Now or Never is a public-driven constitutional movement with a single purpose: to build a fairer, more accountable political system rooted in the democratic will of the people. Any materials it produces—videos, documents, analysis, or public resources—exist solely to educate, engage, and empower the public, not to sell products or services.

Q: How is this movement funded?

A: The Now or Never movement is entirely self-funded and publicly transparent.
There are no donors, no corporate sponsors, no political party backers, and no hidden financial interests behind this mission.

Everything produced — videos, documents, policy papers, constitutional drafts — is created independently and provided free to the public.
The movement does not sell influence, it does not sell access, and it does not operate for profit.

This is a civic project built on principle, not money.

Q: Why is it necessary to abolish the monarchy?

A: The monarchy must be abolished because a modern, democratic nation cannot be built on inherited power, hereditary privilege, or institutions that sit above public accountability.

A system that claims to put the people at the centre cannot, at the same time, preserve a position of supreme constitutional authority that is passed down by birth. Even if the role is largely ceremonial, the symbolism matters. It reinforces the idea that some are born with status, influence, and constitutional standing that others can never attain, no matter their contribution to society.

Abolishing the monarchy allows us to:

• Establish full democratic sovereignty — where all authority flows from the people, not ancestry.

• Create a system based on merit, responsibility, and public duty — not inherited entitlement.

• Ensure accountability — every institution of state must answer to the people and to the law

Q: It sounds like you are proposing that we scrap the monarchy in exchange for a dictator?
A: Absolutely not. A dictator rules without limits. The system we propose is the opposite — it puts strict limits on power and makes the Head of State fully accountable to the people.

Here’s how it works:

• No inherited privilege. The monarchy is based on birthright, not service. Ending it returns power to the people.

• Strict limits on power. The Head of State cannot rule alone — they share executive authority with the People’s Assembly and the Council of the Union.

• Bound by law. The Head of State is tied to the Unified Code of Public Office (UCPO), bound by the Constitution, and fully accountable to the Independent Standards Commissioner and the courts. They can be prosecuted like any other citizen.

• Separation of powers. Laws are made by the People’s Parliaments and the Order of the Union — not solely by the Head of State.

• The people are in control. If the Head of State ever abuses power, you can remove them. A public recall vote can dismiss the Head of State entirely.

This is not a dictatorship — it is a republic where the people hold the final word.

Q: How will ordinary people actually have a say?
A: You will:

• Elect MPs, ministers, and the Head of State.

• Create laws by petitioning for bills to be introduced in Parliament.

• Petition to remove any minister, MP, or even the Head of State.

Power is not just about choosing leaders — it’s about holding them accountable.

Q: How is this system better than what we have now?
A: The old system serves the wealthy and connected. The new system puts power in the open:

• Elected MPs, ministers, and Head of State.

• The power to remove officials from office.

• Equality of nations in the Union.

• Transparency at every level.

• Officials are held to account in accordance with the Unified Code of Public Office (UCPO) backed by law.

Governance will serve the people, not the elite.

Q: What is democracy in the new system?
A: We will keep representative democracy, where elected officials govern on behalf of citizens, but with more direct power for citizens:

• You can create laws by introducing bills to Parliament.

• You elect MPs, ministers, and the Head of State.

• You can remove these officials from office.

The people will always have the final word.

Q: What are the new institutions?
A: The newly formed institutions which include:

• People’s Assembly: replaces the government; advises the Head of State; drafts policy; delivers programmes.

• People’s Parliament: makes laws; bills can be proposed by representatives or through public petitions.

• Council of the Union: coordinates Union-wide policy (defence, foreign affairs, infrastructure, economy).

• Order of the Union: makes Union-wide laws in areas such as trade, VAT, and corporation tax.

Q: What if people simply don’t agree with your revolution?
A: Then it cannot succeed. This project only works if people want it. That’s why referendums, assemblies, and open debate are central. If the majority reject it, the people’s decision stands.

Q: What happens if this movement gains support but the government tries to block it?

A: Everything we have planned is lawful, democratic, and grounded in the Constitution we propose.
If public support grows, the government has no legitimate power to prevent:

• Public campaigning

• Referendums

• Political participation

• Civic debate

• Constitutional proposals

• Peaceful democratic change

Any attempt to block a democratic mandate would itself be unconstitutional.

The movement advocated the use of lawful mechanisms — elections, petitions, referendums, courts, and public participation — to deliver change.
Power comes from the people. If the people choose reform, no government can override that will.

Q: How will the Head of State be chosen? What is the election process?

A: The Head of State will be chosen directly by the public through a nationwide democratic election, conducted under the new constitutional framework.

Key features:

• One person, one vote across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland

• Strict eligibility requirements ensuring integrity and public trust

• Mandatory Oath of Public Service, enforceable in law

There is no crown, no inheritance, no entitlement — only the democratic will of the people.

Q: How will MPs and ministers be selected? Will the party system still exist?

A: MPs and ministers will be selected through democratic elections, but the political landscape changes fundamentally.

• Political parties no longer exist.

• Independent candidates will have equal standing.

• Both MPs and ministers are directly elected from constituencies within each nation - England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

This system breaks the monopoly of political parties and opens the door to real representation.

Q: Will traditions and culture be respected?
A: Yes. This isn’t about tearing down who we are — it’s about building on it. Symbols, culture, and heritage of all four nations will be celebrated. What ends is privilege by birth, not pride in identity.

Q: The grooming gangs scandal has been going on for decades. What will you do?
A: The children who have fallen victim to sexual exploitation and grooming gangs across the UK have endured unimaginable horrors that no child should ever have to face. These are not isolated incidents, but part of a disturbing pattern that spans years. These were systematic, coordinated, and widespread. Between 2008 and 2013, Sir Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service. During that time, the CPS declined to prosecute the Rochdale grooming gang in 2009, calling the primary victim 'unreliable'. It is a national disgrace. We will end the culture of cover-up:

• Launch a national inquiry with real powers.

• Impose tougher sentences on perpetrators.

• Hold authorities accountable for failures.

• Provide proper support for survivors.

No authority will ever be allowed to look the other way again.

Q: Poor mental health seems to be getting worse. Why and what will you do?
A: Many reasons including people are under stress from debt, insecure housing, low income, crime, isolation and failing public services. We need to address the root causes: capitalism, globalisation, geopolitics, the Liberty Project, and the failures of modern democracy.

We will:

• Restore national identity and civic duty.

• Nationalise essential services.

• Reform welfare to support, not punish.

• Abolish outdated institutions.

Mental health will improve when society itself is rebuilt on fairness and belonging.

Q: I believe most people on benefits are scroungers. Do you agree?
A: No. Most claimants want to work but are held back by the system. We need a system that is fair, realistic transparent and promotes accountability. We will deliver The Universal Credit Reform Act to:

• Link benefits to training and work placements.

• Provide proper support and opportunities.

• Crack down firmly on fraud and those exploiting the welfare system.

The aim is empowerment, not dependency.

Q: Some say we should do away with human rights to control immigration. Do you agree?
A: No. Human rights are protection, not a problem. Abandoning them would harm everyone. We will manage immigration firmly but always within the framework of rights, dignity, and the rule of law.

Q: I think what you are trying to do is dangerous. Revolutions always bring violence.
A: Many past revolutions were violent because power was seized by force. Ours is different: it is lawful, peaceful, and based on public consent. We are replacing corruption with accountability — not chaos with more chaos.

Q: Will British traditions such as Remembrance Day, national ceremonies, and holidays continue?

A: Absolutely.
The Now or Never movement protects national identity, not erases it.

Traditions such as:

• Remembrance Day

• St George’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, St David’s Day, St Patrick’s Day

• National holidays

• Local cultural festivals

• Historical commemorations

• Public ceremonies

…will continue to be celebrated.

Ending inherited privilege does not mean ending national pride.
We honour the past, while building a better future.

Q: Won’t your revolution destroy the economy?
A: No. The current system bleeds the economy for the rich. Our reforms will:

• Redistribute wealth fairly.

• Cut waste and tax avoidance.

• Invest in local industries and infrastructure.

Wealthy tax dodgers may leave—but the country will be stronger when the economy serves everyone, not just them.

Q: What will you do about the rising cost of living?
A: We have become overly dependent on imported energy, labour and food whilst failing to address stagnant wages, wealth inequality and our housing crisis. What must be done:

• Invest in manufacturing, energy, food security, and digital infrastructure.

• End reliance on fragile foreign supply chains.

• Invest fairly across all regions, not just London.

• Introduce a Progressive Wealth Tax and close tax loopholes.

• Create fair, permanent energy pricing.

No family should ever have to choose between heating and eating.

Housing is a right, not a privilege.

Q: Why do we have a housing crisis, and what can be done to turn things around?

A: The housing crisis did not happen by accident. It is the result of decades of political decisions that allowed housing to become a market commodity rather than a basic human need. Thatcher’s ‘Right To Buy Scheme’ contributed largely to desecrating social housing. Today, millions face unaffordable rents, insecure tenancies, soaring house prices, and a lack of genuinely affordable homes. Entire generations are locked out of home ownership, and homelessness has increased despite record national wealth. Several structural problems created the crisis including chronic underbuilding, speculative ownership and investment, weak regulation of rents and mortgages, fragmented planning and inconsistent local delivery and homelessness policy built around crisis management rather than prevention.

We will deliver the Housing and Land Reform Act (‘The Big Reshuffle’) to:

• Ban speculative buying and end property hoarding.

• Require non- residents to sell homes.

• Launch a mass council housing programme.

• Cap rents to stop exploitation.

• Guarantee housing support for the homeless.

Q: The NHS has been struggling for a long time. How will you fix it?
A: The National Health Service is one of our proudest achievements, but today it is collapsing under chronic underfunding, staffing crises, privatisation, and outdated systems. Governments have and will continue to fail us. Here is what we are going to do:

• Create a National Care Service, integrated with the NHS.

• Upgrade hospitals, diagnostic centres, and clinics.

• Cut outsourcing and waste.

• Restore NHS dentistry.

• Increase funding for staff, training, and equipment.

Healthcare will remain free, universal, and properly funded.

Q: Our benefits system is a mess. What will you actually do?
A: The welfare system in the UK is broken. Instead of offering support and opportunity, it punishes, humiliates, and traps people in poverty. Every government have been guilty of policy that preserves inequality and suffering. We will deliver The Universal Credit Reform Act to:

• Abolish the two-child benefit cap, bedroom tax, and benefit taper trap.

• Provide career support, training, and placements.

• Scrap arbitrary deductions.

• Ensure benefits rise with the cost of living.

The system today punishes the poor — we will design it to empower.

Q: There is a big gap between the rich and the poor. Why, and what will you do?
A: Because the system is built for the rich. Capitalism is rampant and unrestrained. We live in a system where greed prioritises profit over people. Under the current system, policies are not designed to dismantle inequality — they are designed to maintain it. This system operates on a simple, brutal formula: punish the poor, milk the middle class, and reward the rich.

Under the The Economy Reform Act we will:

• Tax wealth fairly.

• Raise wages.

• Expand public services.

• Crack down on exploitation.

We will rebuild an economy rooted in fairness, resilience, and shared prosperity.

Q: What do you mean by wealth disparity, and what are you planning to do about it?

A: Wealth disparity means the gap between those who have accumulated significant assets — property, investments, inherited wealth — and those who struggle to build even basic financial security.
In the United Kingdom today, a small minority holds a vast share of the nation’s wealth, while millions face rising costs, insecure housing, stagnant wages, and limited opportunities to save or invest.

This isn’t simply a matter of some people being rich.
It is about the structural imbalance of economic power — where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, shaping housing markets, political influence, and economic policy to their advantage.

• A progressive wealth tax - Through the Wealth, Tax Justice and Fair Contribution Act, high levels of net wealth will be taxed proportionally.
  This ensures those with the greatest assets contribute fairly to the services and infrastructure the entire country relies on.

• An inheritance cap, not just an inheritance tax - Large fortunes will no longer be passed down in unlimited amounts across generations.
  The inheritance cap prevents entrenched dynasties of wealth and privilege, helping to level the playing field for everyone.

• A Land Value Tax - By taxing the unearned value of land — especially unused or hoarded land — we discourage speculation and open up land for housing, development, and community use.

• A Windfall Tax and a Financial Transactions Tax - Extraordinary profits in sectors like energy or finance will be taxed to ensure they benefit the public, not just shareholders.

• Ending tax avoidance and evasion - A new Office for Tax Justice and Wealth Enforcement will close loopholes, enforce compliance, and ensure that multinational corporations and wealthy individuals pay what they owe — no exceptions.

Q: Explain privatisation and nationalisation and why it matters?
A: Privatisation sells public services to private companies, who run them for profit. Nationalisation returns them to public ownership, run for people, not profit. Privatisation across the last four decades has in many instances led to rising prices, poorer service quality, fragmentation and inefficiency, profit being extracted from essential services, weakened accountability and long-term underinvestment. Under the Nationalisation and Public Ownership Act, the United Union will bring key industries back into public ownership where their failure, cost, or strategic importance requires it.

We will nationalise essential services including energy, water, rail, public transport networks, core postal and communication services and critical infrastructure.

Q: What do you mean by regional inequality, and what do you plan to do about it?

A: Regional inequality means that opportunities, investment, and standards of living vary dramatically depending on where in the country a person happens to live. Some regions have strong infrastructure, good jobs, high-quality public services, and well-funded local authorities. Others have been left behind for decades, suffering from underinvestment, poor transport links, weak local economies, and limited chances for young people.

This imbalance is not natural — it is the result of political choices.

The United Union is designed to end this divide by ensuring every region has the foundations needed to thrive. We approach regional inequality as a structural problem, not a cultural one, and we tackle it through long-term, legally enforced reform.

• Fair funding for local areas
  The Local Government and Regional Equality Act requires the Treasury to allocate resources based on need, deprivation, and population, not political favouritism. Funding formulas must be transparent, evidence-based, and reviewed regularly.

• National Infrastructure Strategy
  A ten-year, legally binding plan to upgrade transport, digital infrastructure, energy networks, and public facilities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland — ensuring no region is left behind.

• Targeted investment through the Public Investment Fund
  Regions with long-term economic decline will receive dedicated capital investment for job creation, modern industries, skills training, and local regeneration.

Q: How will pensions be protected under your new system?

A: Pensions remain fully protected — and strengthened.

Under the Union Pensions and Retirement Income Act:

• The state pension is guaranteed in law, uprated each year using a Fairness Index tied to inflation, earnings, and affordability.

• Pensions are funded through both general taxation and National Insurance, ensuring long-term stability.

• Carers, disabled people, and individuals with interrupted work histories receive credited qualifying years so no one is punished for circumstances beyond their control.

• Pension-age citizens receive additional support such as free public transport and discounted essential services.

We protect dignity in retirement — not weaken it.

Q: If you force non-residents to sell UK property, won’t that crash the housing market?

A: No. The Housing and Land Reform Act is designed to ensure a controlled and legally managed transition, not a market collapse.

• Both non-residents and residents with more than one home have up to three years to sell any residential property they are not permitted to keep.

• The Act also requires all sales and State acquisitions to be based on fair market value.

• The State may introduce temporary stabilisation measures, including mortgage assistance or transitional rent caps, to prevent volatility

The Act will end speculative and excessive ownership and redirect housing into secure, affordable use, while using clear timeframes, compensation, and stabilisation powers to avoid a disorderly market crash.Foreign Policy & Global Issues

Q: I am really worried about immigration. What are your plans?
A: Immigration will be fair and firm. Under the Asylum and Immigration Reform Act we will:

• Protect our borders and enforce the law consistently.

• Require integration so that all newcomers contribute to society and respect our values.

• Welcome skilled workers where they are genuinely needed to strengthen essential services and industries.

• Intercept all small boat crossings and return arrivals safely — either to their country of origin (if safe) or the last safe country passed through.

• Suspend new work visa routes until a full national review ensures immigration serves the national interest.

Our approach is simple: compassion abroad, stability and control at home.

Q: I am worried about conflicts like Palestine–Israel and Russia–Ukraine. What would you do?
A: Every atrocity deserves condemnation, and victims deserve compassion. But our duty is to our people. Under The Sovereignty Act we will:

• Act with principle, restraint, and compassion.

• End the role of the UK as a global enforcer.

• Avoid military intervention unless in the people’s interest.

• Uphold humanitarian support.

We will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Q: Do your plans affect Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland?
A: Yes. We propose a peaceful, democratic, lawful process for unification. We will seek to deliver the Irish Unification Act to deliver:

• Consent first – any change must be determined by the democratic will of the people.

• Protection of identities – cultural, religious, and political traditions will be safeguarded.

• Minority rights guaranteed – including language, expression, and full participation in public life.

• Finality of outcome – whatever the people decide shall be respected, honoured, and binding.

Unity will not be imposed — it will be chosen, protected, and secured in law.

Q: I think we need to do more on climate change. What will you do?
A: We agree, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat — it is here, shaping our weather, our health, our economy, and our future. The old politics offers delay, distraction, and broken promises. We offer transformation… that means:

• Ending fossil fuel dependence.

• Expanding clean energy.

• Protecting land, rivers, and seas.

• Supporting green jobs and industries.

The goal is a sustainable economy that works for people and planet.

Q: If immigration is restricted, won’t vital sectors like the NHS collapse?
A: No. Immigration will be managed responsibly, not recklessly. Skilled workers — including those in health and social care — will continue to be welcomed where they are genuinely needed. But the long-term solution is to train, support, and retain homegrown staff so the system is sustainable without dependency on overseas labour.

• Investing in our workforce – more training places, fair pay, and better working conditions to keep British staff in the NHS and social care.

• Targeted immigration – skilled workers will still be welcomed where gaps remain, ensuring stability while reforms take effect.

We must balance compassion for those who contribute, and responsibility to train and empower our own workforce for the future.

Q: How will you pay for all these reforms?

A: Through a combination of fair taxation, closing loopholes, and ending waste. Key measures include:

• Progressive Wealth Tax

• Inheritance Cap

• Financial Transactions Tax

• Windfall Taxes on extraordinary profits

• Land Value Tax on unearned land gains

• Closing tax avoidance loopholes

• Reversing decades of failed privatisation

• Ending wasteful outsourcing and corporate profiteering in public services

Under the Public Finance and Budget Responsibility Act, all spending must meet the Public Value Test — proving it delivers measurable benefit.

This is not fantasy budgeting.
It is a complete restructuring of revenue, fairness, and fiscal responsibility.

Q: Won’t other countries punish us with sanctions?
A: Some may resist at first, but nations trade where there is value. A fair, stable, democratic United Union will remain a strong partner. We will build alliances based on respect and mutual benefit, not exploitation.

Q: Will the United Union be isolationist or withdraw from global cooperation?

A: No. The Union remains outward-looking and engaged.
We will cooperate internationally on trade, climate, security, and human rights — but always on the basis of sovereignty, mutual respect, and national interest.

Q: What is your position on military intervention overseas?

A: Military action will only occur when it is:

• lawful under international standards,

• approved through democratic oversight, and

• clearly in the national interest.

  The era of reckless or ideological foreign interventions must end

Q: Will the United Union maintain relationships with Europe and other major partners?

A: Yes. The Union will pursue stable, pragmatic partnerships with Europe, the Commonwealth, and global allies.
The goal is cooperation without dependency, and trade without compromising sovereignty.

Q: Will surveillance powers increase under the new system?

A: No. Surveillance will be strictly regulated.
Any use of intrusive powers must comply with law, obtain judicial authorisation, and be proportionate, necessary, and subject to independent oversight.

Q: What do you mean by the Liberty Project?
A: We were promised that more freedom, more rights, and more personal autonomy would lead to better lives, a fairer society, and a brighter future. The dream of liberty — reflected in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights — remains noble. But under the banner of freedom, we have seen a system that encourages excess, isolation, and exploitation: consumerism, self-entitlement, inequality, and social fragmentation. It’s time to forge a new path, one that promotes accountability, reestablishes community, and restores the values that truly matter.

Our guiding principles:

• Community – We actively contribute to collective well-being, fostering shared responsibility.

• Solidarity – We bridge divides and rally around the common good.

• Humility – We acknowledge imperfection, seek growth, and listen with empathy.

• Duty – We act with integrity, uphold the law, and contribute positively to society.

We must restore stability, fairness, and belonging to build a stronger, more united future.

Q: What about free speech? Will people still be able to criticise the government?

A: Yes. Free speech remains fully protected.

Under the Constitution of the United Union, freedom of expression is a fundamental right.
Citizens may criticise the Head of State, Ministers, MPs, and any public institution, subject only to the lawful limitations recognised under the Human Rights Act 1998, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and established case law.
