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.
Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Cleaning up political funding is overdue. It's about standards, not just money.
It truly grates on me, the constant discussion around political donations and who is paying for what in Westminster. It diminishes the very idea of public service, making it seem like influence can simply be bought. This erosion of institut
Can we please stop trashing our land for cheap food? Let's grow smart, not just big.
It honestly drives me mad when I think about how we treat our land. All those massive fields of one crop, doused in chemicals, just destroying the soil and any bit of nature that tries to exist. It feels so incredibly short-sighted, like we
Enough of this 'levelling up' crap. Why are we still sending jobs overseas?
Why are we still letting companies offshore their manufacturing and then begging for them to come back with tax breaks? It’s madness. We’ve got perfectly capable people here who’d jump at the chance to build things. They just need the inves
Stop the Short-Term Let Landlords Ruining Our Villages
Honestly, it drives me mad. Everywhere you look in Bakewell, and across the Peak District really, you see 'Holiday Let' signs. Houses that should be for families, for nurses, for teachers, are just empty shells for half the year, or even mo
Freeing Scotland's Railways from Red Tape
I've been looking at the state of Scotland's railways and it's clear that the current system is a mess, but I don't think bringing it back into public ownership is the answer. All that would do is replace one set of bureaucrats with another
Community Policing: Restoring Trust, Ensuring Accountability
I agree with the sentiment that local policing is crucial, but the idea of simply cutting bureaucracy and hoping for the best isn't a sustainable solution. We need more than just "bobbies on the beat"; we need officers who are visible, resp
Scrap stupid ASBOs already
What's the point of giving someone an Anti-Social Behaviour Order if they're just gonna breach it anyway, I mean come on, it's like slapping a fine on someone who's already clearly not bothered about the law. I was talking to one of my re
Enough with the Net Zero Madness, Let's Get Real About Energy
I’m sick to death of hearing about Net Zero targets that seem to ignore basic physics and economics. We're meant to just wave a magic wand and have this perfect green energy system overnight, while people freeze and industries collapse. It’
Kick Out the Bureaucrats from Immigration
I'm proposing we drastically simplify our immigration system by scrapping most of the red tape and quotas that stifle economic growth. This is necessary because our current system is a mess, with applicants waiting years for a decision and
Pay teaching assistants a proper living wage, or stop pretending schools function without them
A teaching assistant in my school earns £18,400 a year on the standard contract. That is term-time only, obviously, but even pro-rata that works out below the real living wage. We have TAs running small-group interventions, one-to-one suppo
Compassion is Vital, But So Is a Practical Plan for Public Services
It’s easy to talk about compassion from an armchair, but out here on the wards, we see what happens when people are forced to flee their homes. The stories are real, the trauma is real — and these people turn up needing help, right now. The
Right to die with dignity act
The issue of assisted dying is a complex and emotive one, and it's clear that the current system is not working for those who are terminally ill and wish to end their suffering. It's a matter of basic human rights and compassion, and we nee
Formal declaration that the Judean People's Front are not, and have never been, allies of the People's Front of Judea
Let us put this to bed once and for all. The Judean People's Front are SPLITTERS. They have always been splitters. Their newsletter is inferior. Their stoning procedures are amateur. Their position on aqueducts is frankly embarrassing. We
Farmers Are Being Driven Mad By Bureaucracy, Let's Fix It
Saw a farmer down at the market last week, proper decent bloke. He was fuming because he couldn't get a grant for some new solar panels for his barn. Apparently, the application process was so complicated, with endless forms and hoops to ju
Scrap Corporate Tax Breaks for Outsourcers
I'm proposing we stop giving tax breaks to companies that outsource jobs abroad, it's a simple matter of fairness and common sense. These breaks were meant to encourage investment and job creation in the UK, but all they're doing is lining
Ditch the Bureaucratic Red Tape Choking UK Tech
I'm so fed up with the hoops we have to jump through to launch a new product in the UK, it's like the government wants us to fail. Every time we try to innovate, there's some new regulation or license we need to get, and it's always a night
Stop Wasting Money on Bureaucracy
I'm so fed up with the constant back and forth over defence spending, it's like they're more concerned with saving face than actually keeping our country safe. As a small business owner, I know how to balance a budget and make tough decisio
Enough's Enough: Time to Get Serious About Who's Coming In
Why are we letting anyone and everyone flood into the country without a proper plan? It's like leaving the pub door open on a Saturday night – you end up with all sorts stumbling in. My proposal is simple: we need a skills-based immigration
Restore public sector pay to 2010 real-terms levels over five years. It is overdue.
The IFS calculates that a typical public sector worker earns around 9% less in real terms than they did in 2010. That is sixteen years of effective pay cuts. For nurses, teachers, police officers, civil servants. For the people who stepped
Officially redesignate all potholes as "traffic calming features" and mark the problem as resolved
The Managed Decline Party notes that the pothole problem is, in the language of Whitehall, "a long-standing challenge". What we mean by this is that we have completely given up. Rather than continuing the expensive charade of "repairing" t
