I would change the voting system in the UK.
I would get rid of first past the post voting scam and change to proportional representation.
Labour won at the last election with just 33% of votes, not 33% of the population of the UK, this is not representative of the people.
Only about 50% (35 million) of the entire population voted. So about 10 million people out of 70 million people decided who should run my country. Thats why they do not represent me or us.
I would charge every person in the UK just £1 to vote.
This money, say £50,000,000, would be shared equally among political parties. They would then sell us their proposals and we would vote on them.
Instead of our Government working for big business, government would be working for the people.
get rid of lobbying and business money influencing politics.
A minumum tax of 75% on the rich.
stop private ownership of housing specifically to generate profit. you can buy a house to live in not to rent it out.
A local housing project recently built near me, was sold as affordable housing, to help wth local homelessness etc.
It was very affordable for the rich, One guy I know bought 19 of those brand new properties on a huge mortgage, and rented them out at extortionate prices. He raked in a tidy £30,000 a month profit! Plus the accrued increase in value of the properties each year.
Private renters generally pay the house owners mortgage, its a scam.
The renter pays the mortgage and the house owner walks away with the tax free profit.
Tax unearned income on profits on housing.
The bigger the house the more tax you pay.
get rid of the BBC
I am a socialist, which for me means, to create an equal society
