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.
Energy and bills
Renewables, nuclear, oil and gas, household bills. Power Britain your way.
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
Smarter Sentencing for Scotland: Focus on What Works for Our Economy
The current sentencing system in Scotland needs a pragmatic shake-up, not just a moral one. While the idea of focusing on rehabilitation is sound, we need to consider the economic impact of our justice policies. My focus is on ensuring that
Stop pretending councils work: real local democracy means proportional representation
I was at a planning meeting in Leith last year, arguing for better public transport links and more accessible green space around a new development. It felt like shouting into the wind sometimes. The councillors, bless them, seemed more inte
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 Are We Still Funneling Cash into Bureaucratic Black Holes for Schools?
What's the point of funneling millions into an education system that seems designed to churn out compliant paper-pushers rather than critical thinkers? We pour money into endless layers of administration, consultants, and top-down initiativ
Energy Security: We Need a Balanced Approach, Not Just Nuclear
I understand the frustration with the current energy situation, and frankly, the cost of living is hitting families hard. The idea that we can rely solely on intermittent sources like wind and solar is a bit optimistic, I’ll grant you that.
Enough with the pointless warmongering, let's actually fund our future instead!
Honestly, the amount of money we pour into defence year after year is just staggering, especially when you look at what it achieves. We’re supposed to be a peaceful nation, but we’re always getting drawn into someone else’s conflict, spendi
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
Benefits system needs a shake-up: less hand-outs, more help into work
My proposal is to overhaul the existing social welfare system to significantly reduce long-term dependency on benefits, particularly housing benefits, by implementing stricter conditions for receipt and stronger incentives for employment. W
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
Scrap the Rail Fiasco
What's the point of having a rail network if it's just going to be a money pit for taxpayers, I mean think about it, we're constantly throwing cash at these railway companies and what do we get in return, delayed trains and overpriced ticke
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
Constituencies Are Broken, But Lists Are Worse
The argument that safe seats render votes meaningless is a bit of a red herring. The real problem isn't that votes don't count, it's that the current system encourages parties to focus on a handful of swing seats while ignoring everyone els
Stop letting companies rip us off
I was talking to my neighbour the other day and she was fuming about being charged for a music streaming service she didn't even use anymore. She'd signed up for a free trial and then forgotten to cancel it, so they'd been taking money out
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’
Enough with the Capital Gains Tax raid, it's killing investment!
It absolutely drives me mad seeing the constant tinkering with Capital Gains Tax. Every time the government needs a quick bit of cash, they look at CGT as if it's some sort of magic money tree. It’s just a tax on success, on people who’ve t
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
Sort Out Affordable Housing Already
I'm fed up with seeing young people priced out of the housing market, my own kids included. It's ridiculous that they're expected to shell out half their salary on rent or save up for years just to get a mortgage. I've worked hard all my li
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
