So many manifestos — who has the answers?
Create the party
you would vote for.
Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
Safer streets, fairer justice
Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?
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
Community energy cooperatives with guaranteed grid access and fair export tariffs
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
Stop closing rural post offices and bus routes then wondering why villages die
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
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
We fully support new housing as long as it is built somewhere we cannot see it
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
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
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
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
Ban all through-traffic on our road but maintain our divine right to drive everywhere else
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
Bin collections should be weekly. End of.
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.
Planning applications should be decided in 8 weeks not 8 months
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
Every pothole reported should be fixed within 14 days or the council pays you £50
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
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
