Platform:Running for new party For Folket or For the People. He leads a anti-racist, pro social justice and economic equality group. He proposes a universal UBI of at least $15,000 a year per person with $7,500 per additional person in the household. He would also boost this for the disabled.He would then put the minimum wage up $17 an hour to "catch up with productivity".He is also running with the slogan "For the people not the Pigs" on his anti-elitist platform that shows a particular disdain for bankers. His platform warns the banks will collapse if the current system continues and that this would result in a bail out from the government under all other parties who according to him have taken bribes in the forms of what are officially termed donations. As a result he proposes public financing of all elections though he credits the NPA for not taking big donations.He would radically expand the services provided by the state with free state nursery and childcare up until 18, free education from junior school to masters degrees , universal right to free healthcare and social care and universal right to state provided housing. The party would look at nationalising all companies in the education sector, transport sector, water, utilities, postal and telecoms services as well as key sectors such as mining and metal factories.He argues these should be either nationalised or co-operatised.
On the economy he would support co-operatives and building societies by automatically converting banks to co-operative banks or building societies. The rest of workers would have the right by ballot to apply for a state loan to buy out the businesses they work for if they are headquartered in Nyland to take over the company turning it into a workers co-operative.The party would make sure that if a nation did not meet similar labour standards or environmental standards they would face at least 60% tariffs to encourage standards to spread globally. He would also seek to ban one person or corporation owning more than one tv channel , newspaper and radio station to break up the media.Their would be incentives for farmers to co-operatise with other famers and their workers.He would require any company entering the market to enter with a local partner in Nyland owning at least 50% of the shares and would give lower tax rates to companies already in the country who do a lower tax rate of 20% corporate tax compared to the 40% rate for a non-locally owned private corporation.
He would reform environmental policy by banning any fossil fuel use within 15 years with massive state investment. He would replace it with Bio-fuels, Renewables and possibly nuclear though with restrictions. He states that he is "For the people not the elites" in his interview with leading left wing newspapers. He calls for a revolution by the working class and middle class to remove them from their "slavery".
On social and civil rights the party support LGBT marriage, the right to change gender , gun control and right to smoke marijuana at government run cafes. The party also supports legalised prostitution. All these reforms would be paid for by radical tax increases on the rich and also extra taxes on the lower income brackets though they state the benefits provided by the state would outweigh these.
Political/Campaign History:40 year old Miguel Engdahl used to be part of the NPA though he joined the growing protest movement thinking that the NPA had softened over the time. He joined the recently set up For Folket going up the ranks. He became noted for his charisma quickly leading his regional branch and then the national leadership team. He also has a high up position in the unions until his political career.
