We are not afraid to make mistakes. We accept that we will, and when we do, we will pick ourselves up and move forward — because that is what the BDA exists to do. We will not get everything right, because perfection is an impossible dream for fantasists, and we are not fantasists. We are realists.
We are undertaking the hard work of correcting decades of neglect, poor management, social division, and mistrust. This cannot be fixed overnight, and it will not happen without the occasional misstep. But we will keep those missteps to a minimum and mitigate them through open admission, public honesty, complete integrity, and immediate, well-considered corrections that are shaped with the support of the public and the communities affected.
At no point will we march blindly onwards or ignore calls to abandon a policy that is not working. We will stop. We will listen. We will talk. That is how a real democracy must work
We will publish details of all our policies as we complete them. These will be draft policies and will always remain open for discussion. We believe in real democracy, where the people of these Islands have the right to have a say in Government policies that will impact their lives, whether that be National Security (except classified information), National Health Reform, Policing, Education, Taxation, Immigration policy, and more.
We will, as time allows, provide downloadable PDF versions of our policies for viewers to read offline or print as they see fit. All we ask is that if you share or use any of the material, you credit us accordingly.
