that Councils should become the UK's biggest landlords, by providing affordable accomadation to the great unwashed and also at market rates for those who can afford it.
that the percentage of taxation that a Government takes from the economy should never be above 40% (how that is divided between various taxes is a seperate thing)......if not enough money in the pot to do something, then the economy either grows to afford it, folk buy it themselves - or go without.
that Education should be provided by the state to the age of 16. But that folks are free to use Private Schools - entirely at own cost.
that Education from 16 - 18 should be free, based on academic results
that University Education should be free to the top 25%......everyone else gets to pay full cost - albeit loans will be available.
that a Country's No.1 purpose is to provide for it's own citizens, rather than handing out wealth gained over generations to any Johnny come lately. or to overseas dagos.
