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.
Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
GPs should offer same-week appointments for everyone over 65
My mum is 78. Last time she rang her surgery the next appointment was in 19 days. At her age things change fast. Guarantee same-week GP appointments for everyone over 65. Not triage. Not a form. An actual doctor within 7 days.
Cap class sizes at 25 with no exceptions
Cap class sizes at 25. Everywhere. Primary and secondary. Yes it costs money. Its called investing in children.
Scrap the idiotic HS2 project already
I'm sick of hearing about the HS2 debacle, it's been years of delays and cost overruns, and for what, so a bunch of suits can get to London a bit quicker, it's a complete waste of money. The estimated cost is now over 100 billion pounds, it
sort out the recycling mess already
What's the point of having all these different bins if the council's just gonna send it all to the same place anyway, I mean I've seen the blokes chucking everything in one truck, so why bother. I was talking to a customer the other day, a
Bring back common sense (we are not clear what this means but we are very sure about it)
Everyone agrees we need more common sense in this country. Nobody can define what that means exactly, but thats beside the point. You know it when you see it. And more importantly, you know when its missing. Common sense says you shouldnt
A proper integration programme for new arrivals, funded centrally and delivered locally
I think most people in this country, when they are being honest with themselves, accept that immigration has been broadly positive for Britain economically and culturally. But I also think most people, including those who support immigratio
Restore trust in institutions by making appointments genuinely independent
The erosion of institutional independence is one of the most damaging trends in recent British politics. Appointments to quangos, regulators, and public bodies are increasingly made on the basis of political loyalty rather than competence.
Bin collection chaos is just the start – we need to get serious about local recycling
I was out with the kids the other day, trying to explain why we can't just chuck everything in one bin. We'd just seen another lorry overflowing with bags, probably heading straight to landfill, and it felt like a joke. It’s frustrating whe
Scrap the NHS Waiting Lists Madness
What's the point of having a national health service if you're just gonna end up waiting months for treatment, I mean it's like the system is designed to drive you mad. The thing is, it doesn't have to be this way, we could be investing m
Sick of the NHS waiting lists? Time to bring in some private sector common sense!
Honestly, the state of the NHS makes my blood boil. I’ve got mates waiting months for simple procedures, and then they’re complaining about the ‘efficiency’ of it all. It’s not rocket science. We’re pouring money into a system that’s become
Scrap the pointless apprenticeship schemes already
I'm so fed up with the government's apprenticeship schemes, they're just a waste of money if you ask me. My son's friend did one and it was just a cheap way for a company to get free labor, he didn't learn anything useful and now he's strug
Ranked Choice Voting is a no-brainer, why aren't we doing it already?
We should implement ranked choice voting for all elections. This system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, eliminating the need for spoiler candidates and ensuring that winners have broader support than under our curre
Enough of these 'luxury flats' nobody local can afford! We need proper homes.
I was walking past the old post office down the road the other day, you know the one. It’s been boarded up for ages, an eyesore. Now I hear they’re planning to knock it down and build more of those ridiculously expensive flats aimed at inve
Stop letting developers just buy up villages for holiday lets!
We need a national policy that gives local councils the power to limit the number of new properties built specifically for holiday lets or second homes. My town of Bakewell is drowning in them, and it’s pushing ordinary families out because
Enough’s Enough: We Need To Lock Up The Violent Thugs, Not Let Them Off With A Fine
The justice system needs a serious shake-up. My proposal is to introduce mandatory minimum sentences for crimes involving actual physical violence, especially those committed with weapons or against vulnerable people. We’ve seen far too man
Scrap the nonsense in schools
I'm sick of hearing about how our schools are failing, it's all about the wrong priorities if you ask me. I see kids coming into my DIY store who can't even use a tape measure, but they can tell you all about climate change and whatnot. Don
Unions only care about themselves, not the working man. Time to change the rules.
Why should these union bosses get to decide who speaks for working people? They trot out the same old lines, saying nobody like Farage is a "friend of the workers", but when was the last time they actually delivered anything real for the bl
Stop Wasting Our Money. Fund Our NHS Properly.
This sounds like another load of politician talk. They always say they want to fund the NHS, but then they don’t. This idea of bonds sounds complicated. Why do we need private money involved? The NHS is supposed to be for us, not for making
Energy and Bills: regulate market with a public owned option
Energy should be simple. You use it, you pay a fair price, and you don’t feel like you’ve just received bad medical news. Right now, it’s not. Bills confuse people, loyalty is punished, and too many households are one cold evening away fro
Scrap Soft Sentencing for Repeat Offenders
I was reading in the local paper about a bloke who'd been arrested for the fifth time for burglary in our area, and I just about lost my temper. This guy's been in and out of court for years, always getting let off with a slap on the wrist,
