Abolish Feudal Tenure and implement Allodial Tenure (same as Scottish Act 2000)
As they have under Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, we demand all titles in England and Wales are amended to the "Allodial" Tenure and hold absolute title.
Abolish inheritance tax
We believe inheritance tax destroys family wealth for future generations and destroys opportunities of further investment into the UK. We believe it is inhumane and incredibly unfair. Many people work all their lives to build wealth, only for it to be taxed by the Government.
Ban Members of Parliament from being residential landlords
We ask the Government to introduce legislation preventing sitting MPs from being residential landlords. We believe MPs who profit from rental income are in a conflict of interest when voting on housing, rent, and tenant legislation, which may undermine public trust and fair representation.
