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?
Defence spending is a joke
I'm sick of hearing about how we need to boost defence spending to keep the country safe, when the truth is that's just code for lining the pockets of arms dealers and politicians who don't know the first thing about what actually keeps peo
Nobody should pay more than 40% of their income on rent
Had this conversation in the pub last tuesday and everyone agreed which is rare because Geoff disagrees with everything on principle but even Geoff thinks rent is out of control. If youre spending more than 40% of your take home pay on keep
A wealth tax on assets over £10 million to fund public services
The top 1% of households in Britain hold more wealth than the bottom 70% combined. That is not a statistic from a pressure group, it is from the ONS. Wealth inequality is now greater than income inequality, and it is growing faster, because
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
Scrap First Past The Post For Good
I'm proposing we ditch the first past the post system and replace it with a proportional representation system, it's the only way to make sure our votes actually count for something. This system is outdated and it's time for a change, we ne
Enough is Enough: Our Own People Need Homes First
With all due respect, this talk of banning foreign nationals from social housing is a start, but it doesn't go far enough. We need a clear, prioritised system that puts British citizens, particularly those who have contributed to this count
Establishing a framework for dignified end-of-life choices
The current parliamentary deadlock on assisted dying highlights a fundamental human rights issue. Access to a dignified end, free from unnecessary suffering, should not be a matter of political expediency. We need to establish a clear, com
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
Sovereignty means being free to do things we have no intention of doing
We fought long and hard for the right to make our own decisions as a nation. And now that we have that right, we choose to... not change very much. But the OPTION is there. Thats the point. We COULD change our lightbulb regulations if we w
UK should offer work visas to foreign students after graduation
I've seen so many talented students come through my coffee shops, working part time while they study, and it's a shame when they have to leave the country as soon as they graduate. They've already built a life here, made friends, and learne
Enough with Westminster fiddling while Scotland's NHS burns. Time for a real fix.
Why are we still relying on a system designed for another country, especially when it’s clearly not working for us up here? Our NHS is meant to serve Scotland, not English targets or whatever Whitehall thinks is important this week. It’s ti
Diplomats Not Pawns
I've seen my fair share of bureaucracy in the army and now in civvy life, and it's a right old mess. Appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff shouldn't be about who you know, it should be about who's got the skills for the job. Th
Scrap the HS2 White Elephant
I'm proposing we cancel the HS2 project and divert the funds to upgrading our existing rail network, it's a no-brainer when you look at the costs and benefits. The current plans are going to soak up over a hundred billion pounds, which coul
Frankly, it’s past time we stopped talking and actually put proper digital protections in place for our children.
Frankly, how can we possibly expect children to navigate the digital world we’ve created for them without putting some serious safeguards in place? It just seems like we've let things get completely out of hand, hoping for the best when it
Stop Pricing Out Our Kids
I was at the school gates the other day and I got talking to one of the mums, she's a nurse at the local hospital, and she was telling me she's had to move to Luton because she can't afford a flat in Barnet anymore, it's just ridiculous.
Scrap the pointless short sentences for minor crimes
What's the point of chucking someone in prison for a few weeks for shoplifting or minor assault, it's just a waste of taxpayers' money and doesn't solve anything. I mean think about it, these short sentences don't rehabilitate anyone, they
Common Sense Policing
I think it's time we got real about what works in policing, and that's giving local forces the freedom to make their own decisions, but with a bit of common sense. We can't just cut back on bureaucracy and expect everything to magically wor
Stop lying about defence spending
I'm sick of politicians getting away with manipulating defence spending figures to suit their own agendas. It's like they think we're all just going to swallow whatever nonsense they feed us. The fact that the opposition leader can make a c
Fines for polluters must hit harder, but let's get the targets right.
It’s frustrating seeing the state of some of our rivers. Last month near Elgin, there was a stretch of the Lossie that just looked wrong, a bit lifeless. You hear about companies getting away with it, paying a slap on the wrist fine that’s
Make Politicians Declare EVERYTHING
I think all politicians should have to declare every single gift or donation they get, no matter how small, so we can see who's trying to buy their loyalty. This is needed because it's clear some of them are more interested in lining their
