The pillars of the SODELPA Party remain unchanged and are as follows:
The freedom, equality and dignity of all individuals as fellow citizens,
The freedom, equality and dignity of all religions and religious denominations
The equality and dignity of all communities, their freedom to promote their languages and customary practices, and the protection through appropriate legislation of their cultural heritage and intellectual property;
The right and freedom of the mass media to keep those who exercise the government, legislative and judicial power of the state fully accountable to the ordinary people;
Recognition and support for the important roles played by non-governmental organizations and special interest groups in raising and promoting community concerns and causes;
The right and freedom of employers, their workers and unions to organise themselves in pursuance of their collective interests;
The recognition of women as pivotal to building an equitable and prosperous nation. They are already at the core of our Party’s decision-making process in the National Executive Council and the Management Board. SODELPA will ensure their increasing participation in Parliament. The recognition of our young people as our country’s most important resource and giving them the best in education and other opportunities, enabling them as individuals to realize their full potential through their own ability, hard work and discipline. SODELPA has a Youth Council that will help chart the way ahead for our young people and the country. As our future leaders we will be encouraging them to join us as volunteers and involve themselves actively in the work of the Party. Despite all Difficulty, Despite all Duplicity, Democracy.
