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?
sort out grimsby's housing mess
what's the point of having a town full of homes if none of them are affordable for the people who actually live here, love. I mean think about it, my own kids can't even afford to buy a house in their own hometown, it's ridiculous. I reck
Scrap the Fixed Term Parliament Act
We should abolish the Fixed Term Parliament Act and go back to giving the Prime Minister the power to call an election at a time of their choosing, this would be more important than having a rigid schedule. This is needed because the curren
Stop Arming Dictators For Profit
I think we should stop selling arms to countries with terrible human rights records, it's that simple. We're always talking about promoting democracy and freedom, but at the same time we're selling guns to regimes that are killing their own
Solar for All, Not Just the Few
I was talking to a local business owner the other day, love, and he was saying how he's struggling to pay his energy bills, while some of the bigger houses in our area have got solar panels subsidised by the government. Now, I'm all for ren
Enough with the empty houses while people are sleeping rough!
I saw a family yesterday, two young kids, shivering outside the old Boots on Royal Avenue. They’d been moved on by the council twice already that day. It breaks your heart. Meanwhile, I know of at least three houses on my street alone that
make public transport free for all
we should make all public transport free to use, funded by taxing big corporations and the wealthy, this would not only help the environment by reducing the number of cars on the road but also help low income families who struggle to pay fo
Enough with the endless plastic rubbish! My bins are overflowing.
Honestly, it drives me mad seeing the amount of single-use plastic that comes through my shops. We try to use compostable cups and offer discounts for reusable ones, but so much of it just ends up in the bin anyway. It’s not just an eyesore
Mandate a minimum vote share for parties to gain seats.
Seeing the results from Scotland makes you wonder about the effectiveness of our electoral system. It seems parties can win seats with a relatively small percentage of the vote, which doesn't always reflect broad public support. This can le
Enough of this meddling! Stop blaming foreign wars for a weak pound.
It’s always something, isn’t it? First the pandemic, now some skirmish halfway across the world, and suddenly the economy’s in trouble. What’s really going on is that we’ve got a government that’s choking the life out of small businesses wi
Abolish planning permission fees for small developments
The current planning system is a major obstacle to getting new homes built, and the fees associated with it are a big part of the problem. These fees can be a significant burden for small developers and individual homeowners who want to bui
Decolonise History Lessons Now
I'm tired of hearing politicians talk about the glory days of the British Empire like it's something to be proud of. As a junior doctor I see the impact of systemic inequality every day, and it's rooted in our history. We need to teach kids
Stop Wasting Cash on Foreign Aid
I'm sick of seeing our government throw money at foreign countries while our own towns are falling apart. I mean what's the point of giving millions to some dictator in Africa when our own pensioners are struggling to heat their homes. It's
Stop the revolving door for petty criminals. It's not working.
I was waiting for my train at King's Cross last week and saw a young man, no older than 18, being led away in handcuffs by two rather weary-looking police officers. He'd apparently shoplifted a few bottles of expensive whiskey. It’s the thi
Fund libraries properly and open them 7 days a week
Nearly 800 libraries have closed in England since 2010. The ones left are open three days a week with volunteers doing work that trained librarians used to do. We tell kids to read more and close the places where they get free books. For p
Restore local council funding to 2010 levels, adjusted for inflation
It is difficult to have a sensible conversation about the quality of local services when the funding that underpins those services has been cut by nearly 40% in real terms since 2010. Councils are not failing because they are badly run, tho
Scrap all regulations and replace them with a strongly worded sign
Health and safety has gone mad. Not a bit mad. Completely mad. You cant climb a ladder without a certificate. You cant serve a scotch egg without a food hygiene inspection. You cant even have a bonfire without checking the wind direction an
Protecting Cymru's Rivers, Not Just a Fine
As someone who's spent years teaching Welsh history, I've seen how our country's natural beauty has been exploited and damaged. The issue of corporate pollution in our rivers is no exception. I was dismayed to read about the state of the Av
A fair system for new arrivals: balancing support with responsibility and proper planning.
It's clear that the current system for managing new arrivals isn't working as well as it should. There's a real public concern about the pressure on local services and the perception that some people arrive without a clear plan for how they
Scrap the Nuclear Obsession
I was talking to my nephew who's in the army and he was saying how much of their budget is taken up by maintaining our nuclear deterrent, it's staggering, and for what, I ask you. We're not going to use it, we all know that, it's just a sym
Why are petty crimes treated like major felonies and vice versa?
Seriously, why does shoplifting a pack of biscuits get a criminal record while deliberately polluting a river gets a slap on the wrist fine that the company just writes off as a cost of doing business? It makes no sense. We're essentially t
How it works

Vote, debate, fork
Vote on other people's ideas. Disagree kindly. Fork a policy you like and adapt it to your own manifesto.
