My Policies To Make Britain Great Again!

Agreed with or at least sympathetic to a good chunk of it. Here's where I disagree:

All of the federal devolution stuff. Nope. Waste of money and just encourages the nationalists.

Wouldn't give our police Constables handguns

Tripling prison sentences for all crimes seems excessive

Wouldn't lower drinking or driving age. Keep things as they are.

Wouldn't devolve taxes

Keep Bank of England name

Cut Vat not raise it


Welfare policies not realistic

Education policies likewise (I'd just ban Muslim and possibly Jewish faith schools)

From a quick read quite a few of them seem reasonable or at least better than the current system. why not Rule Britannia for the anthem?

Thoroughly support this.

Can't imagine why people would want a Republic.

I think i'd be paddling away on a boat from the shores of this great nation if Jeremy Corbyn or another socialist got in as President.

I agree with a bit, but fir me, this is the stand out policy that I support:

'- One child policy for families/individuals on universal credit and whose income is less than £20,000 per annum from 2020.'

That would mean hardly any arts graduates will have more than one kid so thats excellent.

Why bring graduates into it - jealous that you got kicked out of sixth form and didn't make the cut for Uni yourself?

You've suggested cutting benefits by 50%. That means people over 25 on JSA would be living on less than £40. Have you tried living on that before bills? It's difficult enough now living on £73.10 a week.

- Privatise rail infrastructure, allow private companies to build rail lines provided they get consent from the Cabinet Secretary of Transport in their respective nation, or the Secretary of State of Transport in the UK Govt. if the rail line crosses borders between England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland
)

How are you measuring success? He has brought hundreds of thousands of jobs already.

Britain was never 'Great' in the first place.

I really wish people would look at recent history when considering proposals for the future.

In 1986, Thatcher privatised gas. More competirion would be a good thing, they said. Firstly, the government made a massive loss by under valueing the price giving a windfall to private investors. Then the fun began with door-to-door con men signing people up for contracts that were sold as cheaper but were not. Meanwhile, prices went up regardless of underlying wholesale price.

We are now in the position where 6 companies follow suit on pricing and the former British Gas pockets around £1 billion a year in profits. So that is British Gas customers paying £1 billion more than they need to for their gas.

With that in mind, how is a privatised, competitive NHS a good thing? Do you really want to be treated at A+E by the lowest bidder?

Fine then, keep it as it is, but no tax credits! We survived fine before Brown introduced them!

You can leave, then, if you don't like it here.

I like a small numbers of things, but a lot of this is downright regressive and quite frankly pointless.

- A Union Jack and a picture of Lizzy, swearing oath etc. in classrooms - absolutely not. This isn't North Korea.
Nothing wrong with a little bit of patriotism, that isn't confined to North Korea, the US and probably other countries follow this conduct too.

- No need for the police to routinely carry handguns. The threat just isn't there.
I think if our police are properly armed and trained then tackling the likes of hooligan behaviour will be handled better.

- Fundamentally disagree with more privatisation. It's not something I can support.
The most successful countries are the ones with the most free markets like USA, China and Japan. The most privatisation the better.

- Seems unnecessarily harsh on immigrants if I'm honest.
Tougher stances on immigration like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan make Britain look more prestigious, so many still want to immigrate to those countries despite the grueling process.

- Disagree with HS2 in its entirety.
Might as well catch up with the rest of the world in terms of trains and expand it across the country, there's no going back now

- We should be encouraging people to learn modern languages not moving away from it. We have a major shortage of multi-linguals in this country as it is.
We should but it shouldn't be required at S4 level. Not too sure about England but the Scottish modern languages exams are much more grueling than others with three different types of exams which take excessive time to revise for, some people aren't up for it and shouldn't be required to do it if there crap at it and can focus on maths, chemistry and such.

- Welfare plans seem extremely unrealistic and excessively harsh especially on immigrants.
We need to be tough on welfare, can't have a system in which people can just live life on benefits if they don't need to be. It's not like I'm cutting stuff for the disabled or anything.

- Begging should not to be illegal. Beggars have it bad enough as it is. They don't need the Police on their case as well.
Imagine kids in London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Nottingham just living their lives and suddenly a tramp comes at them begging for cash, happened to me and it was extremely traumatizing and individuals shouldn't put up with it. What they should do is spend their JSA wisely. It's all about sensible spending.

- Against civilian gun ownership, just look at the US... enough said.
Look at Switzerland, lots of gun ownership and no shootings. Look at the US states of Vermont and Maine, lots of gun ownership and none of these so called shooting occurred. Please don't rely on bias news stories by BBC, ITV and Sky which shows gun ownership as bad business. It should be pointed out that the Nazis banned gun ownership in Germany and look what happened. If Anne Frank and her family had the right to bear arms they might have escaped. Plus my plans require a license to own a gun meaning individuals who get them and also there would be a registry agency which gun owners would need to sign up to. Guns don't kill people, people kill people, just like they do here with knives and cars!

- Strongly against the death penalty. The state should not have the power to end someone's life like that.
I believe in the bible, and I also believe that capital punishment fits in with British culture whether you're in Hackney, Sunderland, Swansea, Truro, Brighton, Leeds or Argyll or Londonderry. The three biggest economies are USA, China and Japan. Why are they the biggest economies? I think it's God's gift to them for having capital punishment.

- Against policing what people can and can't wear. (Provided it's not dangerous or extremely offensive in some way)
France do it well. Most of these items of clothing are a symbol of female oppression. We need to fight back against it.

- The US is not a brilliant example to base your system off of when it comes to prisons. No idea why you want to copy them.
We need tougher prison sentences, especially for gang behaviour and such. Imagine if some sectarian in Glasgow which was a case of a Rangers FC supporter who was 20 brutally beat up a Celtic FC supporter who was 13, in Scotland (and probably England & Wales too) they'd likely only get 6 months, under this system the lad could get 50 years which is needed as he is a big threat to society.

There's probably one or two things I missed, but most other things I agree with/have no opinion on for whatever reason.

The NHS would still exist as an insurance scheme, paying all healthcare for under 18s, the disabled, the elderly, war veterans and most aspects of healthcare for adults earning less than £40,000 a year. Capitalist free markets allow competition which gives us a successful economy and you can't have a successful NHS without a successful economy, competitiveness makes everything better.
