Policy - Manners Campaign

Manners is the lubricant that smooths the path of relations between the millions of members of our diverse society. It is paramount that manners be promoted in society and Me First! have a policy to address this. Key planks of our policy will include...

- An aggressive and shocking advertising campaign demonstrating some of the many rude and offensive things that happen. Everything from forgetting to use indicators to pushing into line will be depicted on posters underscored by the catchy slogan "Now that is just fucking rude!".

- Current anti-discrimination legislation will be renamed and rewritten to drive home the fact that prejudice on the basis of gender, sexuality, creed, culture, sub-culture, income, ability or attractiveness is just fucking rude.

- Manners is a learned behavior and as such requires regular revision and reinforcement throughout life. We forget things over time. It is hardly surprising then that the elderly are among the rudest members of society (consider the elderly person getting on the bus and needlessly disputing how much change the driver gives them then sitting down and wanting to talk with someone who is evidently absorbed in a book). The elderly will be targeted for manners re-education. An advertisement will show a child telling off an elderly relative for commenting on the outlandish attire of a passer-by with the phrase "gramps that is just fucking rude".

With such a raft of initiatives Me First! intends to promote a more courteous and decorous national culture.
