Why do we need a Media Sovereignty Act?
To reclaim the loss of the British people’s sovereignty over our media, the Media Sovereignty Campaign has been established to pass the Media Sovereignty Act
Our British media has been hijacked by an illiberal international and national billionaire elite, which is causing havoc and destruction across almost every section of British society.
Our democracy, our environment, our climate, our human rights and our commitment to international law and institutions are being decimated.
We need a revolution in British media ownership.
We need to take back control of our media ownership for the British people from the authoritarian billionaire elite.
The Media Sovereignty Act addresses five key issues to reclaim sovereignty for the British people over our media:
1. Our media should be free from offshore billionaire ownership.
2. Our media ownership should reflect ALL sections of society, not just be concentrated among the rich.
3. Independent, local and cooperative-owned media should be fairly funded via a levy on the giant social media corporations.
4. Britons should be protected from media abuse of power by fair regulation.
5. The British media should be freed from dark-money billionaire-funded think-tanks corrupting our media agendas.
We cannot have a free and fair democracy if media and political power are bought and monopolised by a tiny international and national billionaire elite.
