Standing as an Independent
I am confident of the intelligence of individuals.
We need MPs to be able to vote individually on each issue rather than having to club together as a battering ram. We do not want a rigid party system, ruled by the Whips, where MPs are bribed by their positions and entitlement to expenses and pensions.
We need each voter to vote for the independent person with policies and character they trust.
My own policies:
- support the family as a great institution because the family provides the glue and the culture for our society
- support the English as this is great
- support the individual as they can take their own decisions
- defend the right of free-speech
- devolve decision-making more to the local community
- improve education as this improves the quality of our society and our ability to survive in the modern world; support ability level teaching and learning; teaching in English as this is the cusp of our society
- promote improved health and health services
- improve the position of pensioners and the aged
- ensure that green taxes are in tax balance and look at further ways of encouraging reduced use of energy
- re-establish common law as the basis for citizens rights to replace the imposed human rights laws
- reduce red tape
- promote the use of the English language throughout the world
- restructure the tax laws to encourage direct support for English arts and charities
- restructure the tax laws to encourage more growth and success
- improve the country’s infrastructure for power, telecoms, water, transport,
- support our armed forces in order to maintain our independence
I expect that with fifty Independent MPs we can hold the balance of power and can therefore effect most of the changes our voters need and want.
I will be using modern electronic polling software to assess voters views as we go along.
