Safer streets, fairer justice

Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?

Cities & planning

Enough! Stop letting developers build luxury flats nobody can afford.

We need a new policy that forces developers to build genuinely affordable housing, not more overpriced shoeboxes. A quarter of every new development has to be social housing, and another quarter has to be at a genuinely affordable rent for

make public transport free already

I think we should just make all public transport free, it's not that complicated. This is needed because the current system is so expensive and inconvenient that it's basically forcing people to drive or take taxis, which is terrible for th

Energy

Community energy cooperatives with guaranteed grid access and fair export tariffs

Local

Germany has over 800 energy cooperatives. Local communities own solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage. The profits stay local. Energy bills are lower. And public support for renewables is far higher than in countries where turbin

Transport

Stop closing rural post offices and bus routes then wondering why villages die

Regional

There is a pattern that repeats across rural England and it goes like this. First the bus route gets cut because its not commercially viable. Then the post office closes because footfall dropped when the bus stopped. Then the pub closes bec

Economy

Give high streets a 3 year business rates holiday before they disappear completely

Eight empty shops on our high street. Eight. A town that used to have a butchers, a greengrocers, two bookshops and a Woolworths. Now its charity shops, vape shops, and boards in windows. The problem is simple. An independent bookshop pay

Housing

We fully support new housing as long as it is built somewhere we cannot see it

Local

We are absolutely committed to solving the housing crisis. Everyone deserves an affordable home. This is a fundamental value of our party and we will never waver from it. However. The proposed development on the field behind Waitrose woul

Housing

Let builders build: reform planning from the ground up

Britain does not have a land shortage. It has a permission shortage. Only about 6% of English land is built on. The reason housing is expensive is not that we have run out of space. It is that the planning system makes it extraordinarily di

Preserve our local high street by only shopping there when John Lewis is too far away

Local

I was just stuck in the car park at the retail park again today and it really hit me how depressing the whole place is. I was sitting there surrounded by concrete and massive warehouses like TK Maxx and Costa and I honestly felt a bit sick

Culture & media

Bring back the local pub as a funded community hub

Pubs are closing at something like 50 a month and I know people say well thats just the market but these arent just places that sell beer are they. In a lot of villages the pub is literally the only place people actually meet each other fac

Transport

Ban all through-traffic on our road but maintain our divine right to drive everywhere else

Local

The traffic on our road is terrible. Something must be done. Specifically, a Low Traffic Neighbourhood that prevents other people from using our road as a shortcut. This is about safety, air quality, and the children. However, the proposed

Cities & planning

Bin collections should be weekly. End of.

Local

Fortnightly bins dont work. They overflow, they stink in summer, foxes rip them open. Everyone knows this. The councils know this. Bring back weekly collections and stop pretending the smell is somehow encouraging recycling.

Housing

Planning applications should be decided in 8 weeks not 8 months

Local

Our garage conversion took the council 7 months to approve. Nobody objected. Fully compliant with building regs. Seven months to say yes to a brick room. If a standard application isnt decided in 8 weeks it should be automatically approved

Transport

Every pothole reported should be fixed within 14 days or the council pays you £50

Local

I hit a pothole on the A38 last October. Two tyres and an alloy wheel. Reported it. Got told it was scheduled for assessment. That was five months ago. The policy: - Report a pothole through an official channel - If its not fixed within 1

Our high street has CHANGED beyond recognition and nobody asked us

Local

Walked down Watford high street last week. Counted the shops. Half of them I can't even READ the signs. I'm not saying people can't open shops. Free country. But when your whole town centre stops selling things that BRITISH people want and

How it works

01

Build your party

Name it. Give it a colour. Write a tagline. Every great movement starts somewhere, even a fictional one.

02

Write your policies

Make your case. Explain how it works. Let the community vote, debate, and challenge your ideas.

03

Vote, debate, fork

Vote on other people's ideas. Disagree kindly. Fork a policy you like and adapt it to your own manifesto.
