how will you fund your lovely plans OP?

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 07/03/2024 12:39

Given your comments on other threads, I don't think you're in a position to help anyone "see the light" because you come across as being blindingly ignorant yourself.

KreedKafer · 07/03/2024 12:56

I wouldn't vote for you because you don't seem to have the faintest idea how government works and what powers an MP has.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 07/03/2024 12:56

“Stop the boats within 48 hours”

Hahaha. There is literally nothing you or anyone can do about that. It’s also not anything like as big an issue as people make out, just tabloidthink shit for simpletons. You should have said speed up asylum application processing.

To make the UK stronger we should also join the EU single market & customs union, better still would be Schengen. That would give us the strongest possible policy on “small boats” for those who worry about that.

Where there is a will there is a way.
I am to regenerate the will of everyone that is able to work, to work.
I will tax to the hilt every profit-making company that remains in our grasp.
Very soon, everyone will be reaping the rewards and every half-decent company and professional will want to live/work be in Britain.

All being well, I will reduce VAT to 12% initially and aim to remove this hated tax within 4 years

This is why I have included it to ensure the encatchment of everyone of voting age

I will also add to my great manifesto that all those aged 12 years upwards will have the right to vote under my esteemed reign as your, the people's PM

How about the boat people have to mandatory join our military?
I think that would easier than lying to us about stopping the boats, no fucker will ever manage to stop those.

So you're basically promising to give everyone everything they want? And what will you do about widespread public disillusionment once you've been voted in yet the public see none of this materialise?

Thank you. Your defeatist attitude is not helping you.

I will stop them because I'm NO "f......"

Join the "military"?? are you jesting? What about security checks as some don't have traceable history? Lets keep it real, please

That's not Keir Starmer's name. I suspect he's more capable and knowledgeable than you are. In any case he hasn't yet been elected.

The fact that Liz Truss was a disaster doesn't enhance your credentials.

YireosDodeAver · 07/03/2024 14:01

There's nothing in your list for how all this will be paid for so I am not voting for you. You can't cut taxes and increase spending without destroying the UKs credit rating and tanking the economy.

Pick either increasing spending or cutting taxes, or have a mixture on both sides.

How is you friend, the labour leader aiming to to fund his and his teams dreams now that the 'non-doms' tax has already been budgeted in by the tories?

What does the labour lot offer and how will it be funded

I'm proposing to be an impendent candidate based on the Tory & Lab best bits they aim to lure voters to them, so make sure you vote for me if I stand at the GE

My dear friend, please read my previous posts, its all detailed in there

My proposals are actually better than the Tories, Labour jokers put together

My costings are based on pure facts that the OBR will confirm are second to none. That is once I'm at number 10.

I'm also adding to the manifesto.

A to ban all E-scooters in public places
Bring in new laws to have number plates on cyclists bikes or their hi-vis jacket, along with mandatory insurance and a sero tolerance of those riders that break the law.

I also propose to introduce a new take on private planes and passengers.

Free public transport for all children and everyone between the hours of 18-30 hour until 07-00 hrs the next day. Free public transport for all on weekends and all public holidays

I'm aiming to bring you the best of the Tories and Labour that will result in a thriving Brtian and the citizens of our nation will be the most envied in the world.
