- Men's Representative Party
The Men's Representative Party is a minor British political party, which was registered on June 7th 2006.
The MRP claim to be Britain's first political party for men. Their policies are listed as follows:
* All single gender shortlists to be outlawed.
* A public scrutiny into family law courts where fathers have been badly short changed by pro-female bias. Replicate of father's rights group ideals in not desired, but alleged discrimination to them is opposed.
* A crackdown on an observed increase in young unmarried mothers and the unconditional welfare advantages offered to them. An enquiry would be carried out for individual cases with the biological father present.
* A public scrutiny into organisations which are reportedly renowned for gender preference, hoping to issue pro-male disclaimers similar to what the disabled have.
* An introduction of business start-up schemes and financial support resources aimed at underachieving males.
* An introduction of a ‘man-friendly’ recruitment drive for general positions announcing encouragement for male applicants.
* Abolition of the law which states that solicitors of adult services face prosecution without considering the activities of the prostitution service.
* Women-only amenities such as health clubs must be accompanied by something similar for men.
* No more special discounts for females in services like car insurance or dating agencies.
* Failure to incorporate men in any institute without justification would lead to an enquiry by equal opportunity bodies.
* Disadvantaged or elderly men in modern western societies would be treated as a “minority group.”External links
