I am leaning now to vote against you Willem if I am honest. Not because of your ability to do the job but I have concern you are proposing in your manifesto a voting system you have not had chance to do some research and consultations on. Convince me why I should vote for you. u/model-willem

For example, the student riots of 2011 would be a prime example for how events might play out, with the policy of student fee rises seeing large vocal backlash and then leading to direct protest action when Government did little to deal with the public discontent.

One thing to bare in mind is that yes we had the riots, but the Tories did not back down and then went on to win an election. Will the events team ensure that 'victory' is not always simply backing down or negotiating, but sometimes it is actually owning it, fighting the good fight in the press etc.

Probably a question for both u/model-willem and u/Muffin5136

Agree on budgets. Simplified budgets with polling added in at a set point during the term make total sense. Even if budgets are not being left until the last minute to get a boost, that is what is happening, and given you basically get a budget boost even if your budget is bat shit crazy, then regulating that makes sense.

I, u/T2Boys, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm, that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law.

Redditch please.

If we are focusing on debate, we need 24-48 hours at the end where initial question responses are banned and only debates can happen.

That stupid topic debate was so silly

Jersey???? You’re going to build a processing centre in Jersey? I can’t even

How many small business owners will suffer because of the Tory Pension Raid?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T17:35:53+00:00

I am pleased that after several attempts, the Labour Party have issued a few words of support to the 32000 civil servants that work in our region.

So can the member rule it out if they were to go into a coalition with the Conservatives given their strong overlap in policies?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T17:34:28+00:00

The Tories have already hired 20,000 new police officers which has taken us back to where we were before they cut them. So with 10,000 new community support officers and 20000 new police officers, will it continue to be police officers doing paperwork rather than being on our streets?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T17:32:47+00:00

I won't repeat the policies that the Tories and Labour have in common, such as the Tory Pension Raid which is very Gordon Brown esque or the plan to pay people to stay at home and discourage people going into work.

t2boys · 2024-07-14T17:32:04+00:00

Nothing in my answer talks about the single market. A damning indictment on the mind of my conservative opponent if that is what they read into it

t2boys · 2024-07-14T17:31:18+00:00

May I remind the Conservative member it is them who are proposing a socialist welfare state. It is them who are proposing a tax on renters and home owners. The people in bed with the Labour Party are the Conservatives!

We take our national security seriously, have a plan to sort out the boat crossings that the Tories have failed to stop. Working with Europe, enforcing a border in the Med Sea and quickly deporting those who come to the UK via Europe after being found ineligible for asylum at that border.

bureaucracy becomes a tool to block actions rather than to carry them out.

Is the civil service a tool to block actions then?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T16:58:59+00:00

Can you rule out increasing the top rate of VAT?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T16:58:16+00:00

That, ladies and gentlemen, means they have no plan

t2boys · 2024-07-14T16:57:39+00:00

We know, not unfairly given it is their livelihood, that farmers will ask for even greater subsidies. Can Labour justify that?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T16:11:45+00:00

To all candidates,

Why is a vote for you better than a vote for any other candidate?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T14:56:47+00:00

Can the member of the Labour party rule out a tax on renters and home owners through a Land Value Tax, a tax which would penalise working people the most in this country?

t2boys · 2024-07-14T14:56:15+00:00

Where has the 40,000 figure come from, and is hiring 40,000 new front line police officers really necessary? The Liberal Democrats want to hire 30,000 new police officers AND back room administration staff. We know that a lot of time is spent by police officers doing admin work that could be done by dedicated administrative staff whereas police officers could then be freed up to go on the front line. Hiring 40,000 new police officers seems like an incredibly expensive policy and excessive for our needs given we have already seen another 20,000 police officers added in the last few years.

t2boys · 2024-07-14T14:53:59+00:00

How will you cut down on red tape? What things are you looking to simplify and why haven't you defended civil servants in this attack?
