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?
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
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
NHS in crisis, not just the railways
I was reading about the state of Scotland's railways and it got me thinking about the NHS, we're always talking about the railways being a mess but what about our healthcare system. I work in emergency medicine and I see the strain the syst
Time to Scrap Mandatory Minimums
What's the point of having judges if we're just going to tie their hands with mandatory minimum sentences, I mean it's not like they're just rubber stamps or something. I was talking to a lawyer friend the other day and he was saying how fr
Enough is Enough: Let's Actually Build Some Decent Homes for Working People
We need a radical shift in housing policy, starting with a massive, publicly funded social housing building program. This isn't about tinkering around the edges; it's about addressing a crisis that's locking generations out of a secure futu
get a grip on criminal justice reform
what's the point of having a justice system if it's just going to limp along with outdated policies and underfunded services. I mean think about it, we're still arguing about the same old issues, stop and search, sentencing guidelines, lega
Time for a Scottish Energy Plan
As a nation, Scotland has the chance to lead the way in renewable energy, but we need to be realistic about how we get there. I've read about the problems with Net Zero targets and I think we can do better. We should be focusing on a made-i
Why are we making up licensing rules as we go? It’s not fair on local businesses.
It truly grates on me how often we see the government flip-flopping on simple things like licensing laws. One minute they say one thing, the next it’s completely different for a football match. It just makes the whole system look like a jok
What's the point of offshore wind if we still burn gas at home?
Why are we spending billions building massive wind farms out at sea, only to keep relying on burning imported gas for heating and backup power? It makes no sense. We’re basically powering the turbines with one hand and then negating their b
Lend with caution, invest in our communities
I'm not convinced that our foreign loan schemes are doing enough to benefit local people, to be honest. We've got youth centres like mine in Bradford struggling to stay afloat, and yet we're still sending millions abroad. It's not that I do
Protect civil service impartiality through Scottish oversight.
The recent kerfuffle about who civil servants can talk to highlights a perennial problem in Westminster. It seems they're always getting caught between politicians and their own professional judgment. This isn't just a London issue; it affe
Devolution needs proper funding and actual local control, otherwise it's just more Whitehall bureaucracy with a different postcode.
We should establish truly independent Regional Economic Development Agencies across the UK, drawing inspiration from successful models in federal European countries. Current devolution efforts often amount to little more than moving central
Give Local Councils Control Over Regional Funds
We should give local councils more control over how regional development funds are spent in their areas. This is needed because too often we see money being allocated from the top down without a real understanding of what's actually needed
Let's Take Control of Scottish Immigration
I'm proposing that an independent Scotland should have its own points-based immigration system, one that prioritizes the needs of our own economy and industries. This is needed because the current system is dictated by Westminster and doesn
Pruning Defence Waste with Care
Frankly, our defence spending needs a thorough review to ensure we're getting the best value for money. One must consider the importance of a strong national defence, but it's equally crucial to be responsible with taxpayer funds. I think w
Ditch Renewable Targets, Focus on Nuclear
I think we should scrap these unrealistic renewable energy targets and invest in nuclear power instead, cos let's be real, it's the only way we're gonna meet our energy needs. We can't just rely on solar and wind, they're not reliable enoug
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
Enough is enough, bring back common sense on immigration
It drives me mad seeing the country swamped. We've got people on waiting lists for houses a mile long, our schools are bursting, and yet the Tories just keep letting them flood in. It's not about being racist, it's about looking after our o
Teach Kids to be Digital Citizens
I think it's about time we got serious about teaching our kids how to use the internet responsibly, frankly it's a matter of common sense. Instead of just focusing on restricting access to social media, we should be introducing compulsory d
Scrap the Motorway Expansion Plans
I think we should cancel all plans to expand our motorway network and instead invest in better public transport and cycle routes. This is because our roads are already congested and adding more lanes won't solve the problem, it'll just enco
