TSR Conservative:
[centre]
[/center]
We, the TSR Conservatives, pledge to protect Civil Liberties, to uphold Justice and to make our tax system fairer.
• Is being filmed 24/7 by CCTV acceptable? Is the government having your whole life stored on a their central databases safe? Is excessive government intervention in your lives fair?
No, we don’t think so either. Voting Tory will ensure your liberties are protected. We opposed a Socialist bill encroaching religious freedoms, and we will continue to oppose such intervention. We also defeated a Liberal Democrat bill which attempted to control free enterprise.
• When a convicted murderer is released early for good behaviour or a death by dangerous driving conviction only carries an eighteen month sentence, do you feel our justice system is working?
We too are disgusted by these injustices. Voting Tory ensures that the sentence fits the crime and that a great many more offenders are convicted. We presented a bill last session to create 12,000 more Police Officers by changing the job descriptions of PCSOs, a simple but effective way of cutting crime.
• When you fail to see public sector improvement despite spending having risen, do you think you have received value for money?
No, we certainly don’t. A Conservative government will reorganise national finances. Since 1997 average per-household tax has risen by a staggering £6520. Despite this, the NHS is £50 billion in debt. We will ensure that your money is well spent.
Vote for Freedom.
Vote for Justice.
Vote for Prudence.
VOTE CONSERVATIVE
TSR Labour:
The TSR Labour Party is a democratic socialist party which takes pride in considering itself further left of the politics that New Labour advocates today. TSR Labour will work hard to create a society in which every child has fair and equal access to high standards of healthcare, education and local government services. Regardless of background, every person in a TSR Labour society is valuable and will be supported by the government.[/center]
We believe in:
- Equality.
- An Education system where wealth wont influence the quality of your learning.
- A Healthcare system where the NHS will be able to provide the drugs you need.
- A society that protects your human rights.
Our focus this term will be on social reform. With the economic climate becoming evermore unpredictable, we will introduce bills to keep the people's money safe. We also want to make this society a fairer one and make sure that money problems are not a barrier for students trying to enter further and higher education. If elected, we will:
- Introduce a national pension plan with government underwriting.
- Vet all private pension plans to ensure they are securely underwritten.
- Re-asses the EMA system to make sure it is getting to everyone who needs it.
- Put a threshold on the amounts drug companies can charge the NHS.
- Create a new badge parking scheme to allow those who are temporarily disabled to receive parking concessions.
If you share our beliefs and our vision for the future, vote TSR Labour!
TSR Liberal Democrats:
It's time for change in Britain, let's Make It Happen together -
Vote Liberal Democrat
The Lib Dems offer real solutions to the problems you face everyday.
Lower taxes for ordinary people, a greener, sustainable future, good public services and a free and fair society for all are just the beginnings of a better Britain.
We have a range of policies to help kickstart the economy and to create social justice in the UK:
- Tax polluters and cut income tax to make it cheaper to go green
- Force companies to use windfall profits to cut fuel bills
- End government waste and use the money to cut taxes for small businesses
- Ending the surveilance state to pay for real policing
- Affordable university and college for all
- End post office closures
- End prescription charges
- Give local people a say in how offenders are punished
Vote Lib Dem for real change. The Tories are not interested in making the fairer, green society we need, and Labour are finished. The Lib Dems are the only party who can put Britain back on track.
Use your vote, join us and
together we can Make It Happen.

Free up markets currently obstructed by unnecessary regulation

A much Lower and more simplified tax system, fostering a much freer economy.

TSR Monster Raving Loony Party:
The TSR Monster Raving Loony Party-improving this crazy isle while making everyone smile.
In the current economic crisis, we aim to make everyday life easier. We will introduce new product standards to ensure all sofas will be designed without any possibility that money can fall down the back, thus saving money for ordinary Britons. The Loonies propose that a minimum requirement of GCSE Maths for all government ministers and treasury advisers, thereby preventing two different rates of inflation when used to calculate raises in both state benefits and taxes. National Insurance will now include a no-claims discount. However, we acknowledge the economic danger has been somewhat exaggerated, and we will outlaw the use of the term “credit crunch”, instead promoting use of the more appropriate “credit nibble”. We also intend to reduce spending on de-fence and spend more on de-gate and de-garden.
As always, the Monster Raving Loony Party aims to cut bureaucracy and promote common sense in government. We will replace the House of Lords with the House of Cards, to make it easier for the Government to deal with. The Speaker of the House of Commons will be replaced by the latest audio equipment.
And, of course, we wouldn’t be the craziest party in politics, if we didn’t believe in making politics a little more fun. Indeed, we intend to enforce the Trade Description Act to ensure political parties throw regular shindigs, soirees and selebrations.
Vote Monster Raving Loony –The sensible choice in the crazy world of politics.
TSR Socialists:
Fighting for Compassion and Equality
We are the TSR Socialist Party. We are the party that fights for the rights of the people over the rights of the banks and the corporations; the many over the few.
In today's economic and political climate government has a bigger role to play than ever. The Socialist party will rectify the capitalist faults that cause misery for millions. We will be the party of the people, not the party of the banks. Government has to provide essential support and services to those worse off in our society, the Socialist Party has been active in defending these rights in everything we have done. We are one of the few parties to concentrate on social matters, in particular Education. We have proposed two major reforms in this area this session: that every school should have an NHS counsellor and that religious indoctrination of minors should be banned. We pledge to continue to reform health, social support, education and transport in ways to ease the burden on working families.
We have been arguably the most active party this session, and decried the inactivity of the government, calling the Vote of no Confidence before the election was called. It has been rightly said that we are the only truly left wing party in the House of Commons, and as a result we are diverse in our membership and outlook. A vote for us is a vote for justice, equality and fairness, a vote for society and a vote for the people.
Independent MP's:
Birchington:
Hi. I’m Birchington and I am running for election to the TSR House of Commons. I’ve chosen to stand as an independent candidate and you may well be asking yourself why I have taken this approach.
In the TSR Parliament I wish to represent my views and beliefs, but also those of the people who I will represent. Being a member of a party does not give the freedom to do this and without an overall party line to follow, I will have freedom to negotiate legislation and avoid conflicting party politics.
SO, enough talking: What can I promise you?
In short, not a lot. What is important is what you can demand of me. Give me your policy ideas and input and I'll try to represent them in the Parliament. I represent you, not some faceless party with it’s own interests.
What are my beliefs?
I'm broadly pro-Europe and something of a social democrat. I believe in a liberal market economy with sufficient government intervention to ensure that everyone benefits from the wealth created by the British economy. I also support controlled immigration and believe in the ideals of the NHS and national school system, as well as supporting an improved railway network.
What if I have my own concerns?
Feel free to PM me before, during or after the election with your concerns. At the moment I can't guarantee a reply due to my exams, but I will endeavour to do my best. Happy voting!
