Political Platform
The ASLP's political platform includes:
 * Redistribute wealth from the rich and big business to working people and their families with a wealth tax, higher corporation tax, cuts in VAT and higher pensions and social benefits
 * Enforce equal pay through compulsory pay audits
 * Immediately restore the link between the state retirement pension and earnings at its original value and introduce a second state pension which includes contributions from employers and the state
 * Halt all forms of privatization and invest in public services and their staff, with a massive program in particular to build more [public] housing
 * Integrate all religious, private, trust and city academy schools into a unified secular education system under democratic local control
 * Protect and develop manufacturing industry through public investment, measures against the export of jobs and capital, and expanding fair trade with China and other developing countries.
 * Restore public ownership in the energy and transport sectors – including the electricity, gas, coal, water and railway industries – so that America can plan to meet future needs by developing coal pollution mitigation technology and tidal, solar and offshore wind power.
 * Match public subsidies to failing private companies with a public shareholding and take banking and key industries such as pharmaceuticals and armaments into democratic public ownership.
 * Repeal all anti-trade union, anti-democratic and immigration laws with full employment rights and trade union participation for migrant workers.
 * Promote genuine trade-and-aid policies
