Stop all overseas spending including foreign aid
The UK has a massive debt and we believe it is in decline, with a very high tax burden on its citizens. We think it is the duty of the UK government to put its citizens and the UK first and it is irresponsible to spend taxpayer's money on any overseas project.
Ban MPs from accepting any gifts or donations from businesses and individuals
Politicians are lawmakers and should be held to the highest standards of integrity. Yet MPs are currently allowed to accept gifts, hospitality, and donations from businesses and individuals. We think that even when declared, this can create a clear conflict of interest and undermine public trust.
Ban people with any criminal conviction from standing for Mayor
We believe a Mayor is a position of responsibility, and will have dealings with vulnerable parts of the public including children, and they will be in charge of public finances.
Politicians who lie should be barred from standing for election
Politicians who are proven to knowingly lie and mislead the electorate should not be allowed to stand for election again.
