Welcome to Together Gibraltar

together gibraltar Core Values

PARTICIPATION

Our history as a civil society movement will continue to define our party going forward. We will encourage grass roots participation and continue developing close ties with the community.  

DEMOCRACY

We believe democracy is more than placing a vote every four years. We want members to vote on the party’s important decisions, and, once in government, will create mechanisms and channels of communication to facilitate a closer social dialogue.

PRAGMATISM

Gibraltar requires politicians that are constructive, open minded and pragmatic, that listen to the people they represent and aspire to solve their problems, instead of creating new ones. We cannot allow division to continue to hinder the proper functioning of this community. There are urgent reforms which are not being executed due to partisan agendas; issues of state that should be tackled from a unified, cross- party front. We will try to build consensus with all political forces to tackle these issues.

PROGRESSIVISM

Our party stands for zero tolerance to socio-cultural intolerance, free from racial, cultural, gender-based or class-based prejudice and bias. We will continue to fight for equality like we have as civic platform, standing firm against views from a bygone that have been holding members of our community back. Together Gibraltar will finally provide a truly progressive political option that will enfranchise our youth and show that Gibraltar’s civil rights are on an upward curve.

The creation of this party does not mean an end to grass roots participation and people power. We still want your energy, your ideas and your support. In fact, we need it more than ever. Without you, without the participation and support of all those who agree in this style of politics, there can be no meaningful change. Together Gibraltar is still your home, but we now aspire to make it a home for all of those who believe in a better Gibraltar.

INCLUSIVITY

The Together Gibraltar Party aspires to better represent the diversity of our community through inclusion and outreach. Together we can build an inclusive democracy that represents we the people, not just the wealthy special interests; in which people of all walks of life, professional backgrounds, gender, race, class, sexual orientation etc. can be inspired to run for office and provide their insight and talents.

TRANSPARENCY

Corruption and transparency cannot be an issue of faith. We cannot expect politicians to break away from long-standing, corrupt practices on good will alone, from within a political ecosystem that is a corrupting force. We will strive for legislation that guarantees the fairness and transparency of our political system so we no longer have to rely on promises and good faith.


who we are

We are a group of people with shared interests and values looking to positively influence Gibraltar's political scene.  We aim to bring a fresh, honest approach to politics where the people of Gibraltar will have a greater say over what goes on.  We are not interested in mud-slinging and scoring political points- we want the best by Gibraltar and will fight tooth and nail to achieve this.   But we cannot do this without consulting you first; we need your input and continual feedback to shape our policies and we will be asking you for your help soon.  

We are all people who live by a moral code of doing the right thing in the best way possible.  We are passionate about Gibraltar and we aim to represent everyone's needs and interests whatever their ethnic background, whatever their gender, whatever their financial status, whatever their health status, whatever their age, religion or sexual orientation.

SKILLS/EXPERIENCE

Our backgrounds are wide and varied and we have sought to form an Executive representative of all of our society.  We work or have experience in the following sectors: Finance and banking; small business; retail; legal; technology (technology, web design, social media, marketing); environment; care sector (young, elderly, mental health and the disabled); civil service; police; essential services; politics.

Our experience has been gathered locally and across all points of the globe. 

The common thread running through our varied experience is a passion for equality and fairness propped up with an honest, hardworking ethic.

OUR PROMISE

We are here to bring a level of passion and integrity to local politics not seen before.  We aim to be truly representative of our community's views and will always engage in debate before formulating policy.

Under our stewardship we will restore people's faith in our politicians through long-term, strategic decision making (no more quick fixes for votes) and sustainable policies which will benefit Gibraltar in the short, medium and long term.

Finally, we will strive to ensure that politicians are accountable for their actions and will propose suitable legislation that delivers fairness and real transparency so that Gibraltar no longer has to rely on promises and good faith alone.
