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.
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
Bring back proper imperial measurements in schools. The metric system was imposed on us by Brussels.
Pounds, ounces, yards, furlongs, gills, firkins and stones. Britain built an empire on these measurements. We went to the moon on these measurements. Actually the Americans did that, but they used inches, which we invented. Just saying. Th
MPs who vote on housing policy shouldnt be allowed to own rental properties
Quick one this. Something like a third of MPs own rental property on top of their own home. When those same MPs vote on housing policy, tenants rights, landlord tax — they are literally voting on their own income. Imagine if doctors were a
Full backing for solar farms — with some very reasonable conditions
The Nimby Liberation Front is fully committed to net zero and believes solar farms are an essential part of the energy transition. We support them wholeheartedly, subject to the following very reasonable conditions: — Not visible from a li
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
Pay teachers properly or stop asking where they all went
Four of my colleagues left the profession in the last two years. Two went into corporate training, one retrained as a data analyst, one just stopped. None of them wanted to leave teaching. They loved it. They left because they couldnt affo
Ban private ambulance services from responding to 999 calls
Did you know that when you dial 999 in parts of England, the ambulance that arrives is not an NHS ambulance. Its a private contractor. Paid by the NHS. Often with less qualified staff. Operating on a contract that pays them more if they hit
Parking fines shouldnt be a revenue stream for councils
My council made 4.2 million quid in parking fines last year. Four point two MILLION. Thats not enforcement. Thats a business model. And it means every decision they make about signage, yellow lines, and parking zones is quietly shaped by
Every government service should have a phone number that reaches a human
My mum is 78. She does not have a smartphone. She does not have an app. Her bank has one branch left in the county. The DWP expect her to use the online portal. The council expect her to email. HMRC expect her to log in with a code sent to
Reform UK is a grift and its supporters deserve better than Farage's lies
I genuinely feel sorry for most Reform voters. They have been sold a story that all of their problems are caused by immigration, and that one man with a pint glass and a podcast has the answers. He does not. He has never held office. He has
The Green party's 'unrealistic' ideas are the only realistic response to reality
I hear this criticism often, usually from people who consider themselves pragmatic: the Greens have nice ideas but they are not realistic. I understand the instinct. Some Green proposals do sound ambitious. A four-day working week. Universa
Make it possible to start a company in one hour with zero cost
In Estonia, you can register a company online in about 15 minutes. In New Zealand it takes a single form and costs roughly £10. In the UK it takes at least a day, costs £50, and that is before you register for PAYE, VAT, and whatever else H
National duvet day when its raining and you just cant be bothered
Sometimes you just cant. You know the feeling. Its grey. Its February. The alarm goes off and your entire soul says no. We propose 12 statutory duvet days per year. No doctors note. No questions. You just text your boss a duvet emoji and
Constitutional right to complain about things that are already quite good
It is a fundamental British value to look at something perfectly adequate and declare it not good enough. The bus came on time? Yes but it was a bit cold. The NHS saved your life? Yes but the car park was expensive. The sun is shining?
Blame the previous government for things we are now also doing
Let us be absolutely clear. The mess we inherited was unprecedented. The previous government spent recklessly, ignored the evidence, and made short term decisions for political gain. We, by contrast, will spend recklessly but call it "inve
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
All new wind turbines must be invisible and silent and preferably in France
We are absolutely pro-renewable energy. Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation and we take it very seriously. We have a heat pump and everything. That said, the proposal for a wind farm on the ridge above Little Snoring
Make the Channel Tunnel one-way on alternate days for fairness
The Channel Tunnel currently operates in both directions simultaneously, which seems unnecessarily European. A more sensible, more British approach would be to have it go one way on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the other way on Tues
Broadband should be classified as essential infrastructure, same as water and electricity
You need broadband to work from home, access government services, do your banking, help your kids with homework, and see a GP by video call. It is not a luxury. Classify it as essential infrastructure with a legal minimum speed. If provider
We need controlled immigration not open doors
Im not anti immigration. My parents came here from Jamaica in the 60s and built a life. But they came 2 WORK. They didnt come 4 benefits. The system rn is broken tho. We have no idea who is coming in or how many. Businesses need skilled wo
How it works
Build your party
Name it. Give it a colour. Write a tagline. Every great movement starts somewhere, even a fictional one.
Write your policies
Make your case. Explain how it works. Let the community vote, debate, and challenge your ideas.
Vote, debate, fork
Vote on other people's ideas. Disagree kindly. Fork a policy you like and adapt it to your own manifesto.
