Paul Randle-Jolliffe subscribes to the BELL PRINCIPLES

As an Independat Candidate I Will

abide wholeheartedly by the spirit and letter of the Seven Principles of Public Life set out by Lord Nolan in 1995: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
be guided by considered evidence, our real world experience and expertise, our constituencies and our consciences
be free from the control of any political party, pressure group or whip
be non-discriminatory, ethical and committed to pluralism
make decisions transparently and openly at every stage and level of the political process, enabling people to see how decisions are made and the evidence on which they are based
listen, consulting our communities constantly and innovatively
treat political opponents with courtesy and respect, challenging them when we believe they are wrong, and agreeing with them when we believe they are right
resist abuses of power and patronage and promote democracy at every level
work with other elected independents as a Group with a chosen spokesperson
claim expenses, salaries and compensation openly so the public can judge the value for money of our activities.
