Comment in support of SP:
"I believe that the best way to achieve security and to tackle global problems, including global warming, ecological destruction, global poverty and the threat from terrorism is through international action. I and my Liberal Democrat colleagues believe the UK must work with the UN and the EU to promote international law, democracy and respect for human rights.

Comment in support of SP:
"The forces of globalisation are making the world effectively a smaller place. It is increasingly necessary to act together internationally to tackle the problems we face at home. Simultaneous action on issues such as climate change, fair trade, immigration, terrorism and health pandemics is the ideal means of resolving them."

“We live together at once, on the same small planet. There are some things we should do together, at once, on this same small planet. The compelling logic of Simultaneous Policy is really collective common sense – it’s a campaign to find out how common sense really is!”
Mike Hancock CBE,
Liberal Democrat.
Signed the pledge: 6 December 2004
Comment in support of SP:
"Anything that helps break down the bunker mentality of nationalists, wherever they are in the world, is very welcome."

Bill Etherington, Labour.
Signed the pledge: 24 March 2005
Comment in support of SP:
"It is encouraging to find a potential antidote to the present 'global market' with all the injustices it has brought. My only reservation is their inflation must be tackled otherwise lenders will subsidise borrowers."
Adrian Sanders, LibDem.
Signed the pledge: 29 April 2005
Richard Younger-Ross, LibDem.
Signed the pledge: 29 September 2006
John Penrose,
Conservative.
Signed the pledge: 02 May 2005
Comment in support of SP:
"The Simultaneous Policy creates the possibility of multilateral action towards a better world. I'm supporting it on the basis that its aims are good and the policies are still being developed. Once completed, I hope SP's policies will give citizens more control over their governments, rather than some of the initial drafts which seem the other way around."
Pledges from sitting MEPs |

You can encourage politicians in your constituency to support SP. See the list of constituencies below to see who has signed the SP pledge. |
This isn't a complete list of constituencies - if yours is not listed it means we haven't received an SP pledge yet, so please keep writing to your politicians! If your MEPs have signed (you have more than one), send a message welcoming this, as well as encouraging candidates from other parties to sign. Or if you have a preferred party and its representative hasn't signed then encourage them to do so.

Claude Moraes MEP, Labour
Signed the pledge: 21 February 2005
Comment in support of SP:
"I am signing up to the Simultaneous Policy Pledge because I believe that international cooperation in this one area is in principle beneficial globally. If policies are adopted by the group in future with which I dont agree then I would have to withdraw my support."
Caroline Lucas MEP, Green Party
Signed the pledge: 8 June 2004
Comment in support of SP:
"Personally, I think SP is a very exciting initiative, and one that is badly needed in todays world of increasing disillusionment and apathy. Its vital that people know that they can make a difference - and SP offers an important way of doing that."
