Imperium Europa ("Empire Europe" in Latin) is a New Right positioned far-right Maltese political party, founded in 2000 by Norman Lowell, who is also its leader. Its primary aim is to unite Europe into one political entity.
Contents |
[edit] Nova Europa
The stated goal of the party is to unite all European natives under one flag, hence the name "Imperium Europa" (Empire Europe), leading to "a Europid bond forged through Spirituality closely followed by Race, nurtured through High culture, protected by High Politics, enforced by The Elite."
[edit] National unity government
The party advocates a temporary national unity government, a dual system of elitist and democratic elements in order to protect the elite minority whilst simultaneously allowing democratic freedom. This would occur by having the populace democratically elect a President, and in turn, the President would select experts from every field to form a technocratic Cabinet, similar to that formed by Lamberto Dini in 1995. Concurrently, there would still be the current Parliament, informing the nation of the cabinet’s policies while simultaneously gathering feedback. After four years, a referendum would be held to determine whether the people want this system or go back to the parliamentary representative democratic system. If the former is chosen, the President and technocrats would carry on for another five years, while the parliamentarians would be dismissed with an attractive pension in return.[3]
[edit] Other priorities[citation needed]
- 10% flat rate VAT and abolition of income tax.
- A dynamic foreign policy.
- A more rational, planned approach to building.
- Legalise the use of marijuana.
- Abolition of victimless crimes.
- Building an artificial island which would be used to generate energy and at the same time serve as a landfill.
- Civil liberties: freedom of speech, and freedom of association.
- Gay rights
- Free access to In vitro fertilisation.
- Gun rights.
- Sanctioning of abortion (only in extreme cases, such as rape or to save the woman's life)
- Sanctioning of divorce.
