DOES NJM PLAN TO INTRODUCE PEOPLES ASSEMBLIES OVERNIGHT?
No. Only after it is well understood and widely accepted. • WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM? Because the present system, the party system is divisive and full of fraud. It does not involve the people. • WHY CHANGE THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM? The present System is the cause of poverty, unemployment and misery. It is simply not working. • YOU SAY THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE CONTROL, POWER, WHY? Because the people know what they want and when they want it. They are the best ones to take decisions on these matters. • SO JEWEL LEADERS ARE NOT JUST ANOTHER BUNCH OF PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR POWER FOR THEMSELVES. IN WHAT WAYS ARE THEY DIFFERENT? Our message is different. It is not “Make us the new ministers, the new bosses.” Rather it is, “organise yourselves in your communities and create a system where you the people control the Government” (instead of the Government controlling you as at present). • 32. WHAT ABOUT ELECTIONS? The movement is willing to contest for elections. • IS NJM VIOLENT
