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.
Diplomats for the People
I think the current system of appointing ambassadors and senior diplomatic staff is a joke, it's all about who you know, not what you can do. We need to take the power out of the hands of politicians and put it in the hands of the people. T
Enough is enough! Our trains are a national disgrace.
It's utterly infuriating. Every time I need to visit my daughter in London, I face the same dismal experience: delays, cancellations, and overcrowded carriages. You'd think a country that pioneered railways would manage to run them halfway
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy Already
I was at the hospital last week visiting a friend who's been struggling with chronic pain and it was appalling to see how many administrators were wandering around while the nurses were run off their feet. My friend's been waiting months fo
Scrap the soft justice nonsense
What's the point of having a justice system if it doesn't actually punish people for breaking the law, I mean think about it, we've got career criminals walking out of court with a slap on the wrist and a warning, it's absurd. The problem
NHS needs protection from extreme weather
As a junior doctor I've seen firsthand the impact of extreme weather on our already overstretched NHS. The original proposal to reclaim sovereign control of our weather is laughable, but the underlying concern is valid. We can't control the
All this online nastiness isn't just about MPs — it's poisoning our local chats too. Time to make platforms accountable.
I saw it happen just last month with the proposed new roundabout by the A6. Our own Councillor Davies, bless her, put up a post on the Bakewell Facebook group asking for opinions, and within hours it was just a free-for-all. People calling
How are we supposed to get to the next village without a car? Ridiculous!
Why are we still pretending everyone drives everywhere, especially in rural areas? We've got perfectly good buses going past Bakewell, but they run about as often as a hen lays a golden egg, and only to the big towns. It’s completely imprac
Enough is Enough: Time to Take Back Control of Our Borders
What exactly is the point of having borders if anyone can just waltz in and claim benefits before they've even paid a penny into the system? It makes a mockery of everyone who works hard, pays their taxes, and struggles to get by. It’s frus
Sort Out Childcare Costs Already
what's the point of government-funded childcare if people are still getting stung with hidden costs, it's like they're just trying to look good without actually doing anything, you know. I think we should just make all childcare costs tra
Why are we still letting the rich fly in cheap labour to undercut us?
How many times do we have to see jobs disappear or wages stagnate because businesses can just import workers for less money? It’s like they don’t even care about people already living here who need work. My proposal is simple: employers wa
Universal Basic Income is a Fantasy, Let's Focus on Real Support for Carers
I was talking to my neighbour, a lovely woman named Sarah, the other day. She looks after her mother full-time, and frankly, she’s exhausted. She gets a pittance in carer’s allowance, barely enough to cover the extra food her mum needs. She
Enough with the endless legal dramas, sort out the courts
It drives me mad watching these endless court cases on the telly, dragging on for months, years even. It feels like the system is designed to bleed people dry, whether they're guilty or not. You hear about it down the pub too, people stuck
Why do we bother voting when half the votes get binned? Time for a system that actually counts our voices.
It makes no sense that millions of votes just vanish into thin air. You vote for someone, they don't win, and that's it, your voice is gone. Then we get a government that barely half the country voted for, claiming a mandate. How does that
Wales Deserves its Own Ceremonies
I think it's time for Wales to have its own distinct ceremonies and events, seperate from the rest of the UK, to promote our unique culture and heritage. This would help to give Wales a stronger sense of identity and self goverment, which i
Cut Defence Waste with Business Sense
I think it's time we applied some business sense to defence spending, rather than just throwing more money at it. We should be looking to private sector expertise to help identify areas of waste and inefficiency, and then cut them out. This
Why are we making it harder for people to get back on their feet after job loss?
Seriously, what's the point of making people jump through hoops just to get a bit of help when they've lost their job? It feels like the system is designed to punish people for being unlucky, rather than helping them get back into work. We
Why do we let people who don't even pay net tax decide our spending priorities?
Tell me, why on earth do we allow people who contribute absolutely nothing, or even take more out of the system than they put in, to have an equal say in how my taxes are spent? It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like letting someone who’
Free Councils from Red Tape
I think the idea of giving local councils more autonomy is a good one, but it's not just about handing them more power, it's about cutting the bureaucratic nonsense that holds them back. If we really want to let local people make their own
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
What's the point of having a national health service if it's just going to be bogged down in paperwork and red tape, I mean honestly, my sister's a nurse and she spends more time filling out forms than actually nursing, it's madness. My pro
Stop Funding Failing Businesses
What's the point of throwing good money after bad when it comes to failing businesses, I mean think about it, we're basically just delaying the inevitable, it's like trying to hold water in your hands. My proposal is to stop giving out taxp
