Dear Muhammad,
I feel that Rodney has not really explained
Simultaneous Policy at all. Maybe he does not
understand it fully, or does not have the time to
explain it to any degree. However, the following link
should give you a good idea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_policy
You may read the above already. I have to confess too
that Simpol, SP, or Simpultaneous Policy is the best
"invention", or rather activist "methodology" I have
seen so far which has a serious chance of succeeding
to motivate politicians in doing the right thing.
The originator of SP John Bunzl also wrote a book with
James Robertson on Monetary Reform. I think it might
be possible to download a free copy via the official
site a link to which appears at the end of the
Wikipedia article on SP.
Regards,
Robert Searle.
PS. I have sent a number of emails to addresses ending
in Simpol.com but for whatever reason I have received
a computer notice stating "mail failure". I may inform
the SP organization of this as it is from them that I
got the addresses concerned. Maybe it has already been
corrected with new address or "fixed" ones.
