But they do not think as others. Their philosophy is not determined by the pursuit of power or the party. Whilst they belong to parties they often behave as if they have none. They do not oppose ideas simply because of who proposes them. But treat each idea on its own merit.

But they do not put their hope in economic growth, technology, the welfare state or individual freedom. Nor do they assess policy proposals purely in terms of their economic or political ramifications. They acknowledge the intrinsic value of human life at every stage from conception to natural death. They fight against violence and death in all its forms. They work to break down divisive barriers related to difference of religion, gender, race, class, nation, ideology, sexual orientation and political power.
