Not sure if it's been asked before but who do you vote for.At a guess I would say the Greens sure making Heroin legal and free houses for all immigrants are the type of Policies you support.

I know this question wasn't directed at me but I'll answer anyway. I live in France so don't vote for anyone any longer. When I lived in England I initially always voted Labour, then I voted Liberal and once I voted Green. For local elections I was more tempted to vote for the individual, whichever colour, though I have never voted Conservative.

The Political map has changed greatly over the last decade, which I think is a good thing, but it would be better served now by proportional representation so that those elected HAD to discuss, negotiate and come to a consensus with other parties/views. We have become too extremist and to inflexible.

I believe in inclusion. I believe that diversity and diverse views are a good thing. I believe in working and also in equality. I believe in good Education and Health services for all and no two or three tracking. I believe in law and order and crime and punishment. I believe in free and open discussion and the right to believe and say whatever you want but not the right to violence or intimidation of others.

If I were voting now, my overall priority would be to tax the rich much more and to tax organisations much more and to use this money for the good of all - community, health, education, jobs. We are slaves to the rich (not even UK based rich). No-one should have so much more money than others. 1 hour cleaning toilets is as important as 1 hour flying a plane or running a company. If companies/individuals do not wish to be taxed (increasingly - up to 100%) then they and their products should be banned from the country.

At this moment only 2 parties seem to have this philosophy - your party and the Greens. However Your party are so plagued by policies that should not be central to the UK population (like Palestine - which is an incredibly important issue, but not central to UK policy) that I could never vote for them. Therefore if I had a vote in the next election I would vote Green. I think their leader is a breath of fresh air in politics and seems to be the type of politician that we should be promoting as opposed to the self-serving corruption that has grown to be the mainline in politics.

Individualism is our enemy and the true legacy of Margaret Thatcher rather than the extreme capitalism that some believe.

None of your business.

As usual, you're regurgitating ill-informed nonsense from elsewhere without bothering to look into what it actually means. Have a look at Portugal's approach to decriminalisation and how it helped. This takes it further. The war on drugs has hardly been a success has it?

I know that's humour but my point is, some people (like me) are born genetically advanced in intelligence ;-) but that doesn't mean that 1 hour of my life should be paid more than one hour of someone's life who wasn't so lucky. Same goes for someone who can kick a ball into a net. I realise that a lot of people won't share my opinion but I find it disgusting that some people earn so much money for so little effort, whilst others earn so little for so much effort. Some help the community and others, some help themselves. I also realise this will never happen so I'd settle for a hard progressive tax on individuals and corporations who deal with the UK whether they are based in the UK or not. Tax avoidance is a complete NO-NO.

Then people don't understand why taxation exists.

Anyway the rich don't need more and tough shit if they think they do. Normal Citizens will get more - better health and education, better policing, dustbins emptied, better services etc. The rich can have a safer society and be part of a more equal society.

And if Dyson and his ilk decide they won't sell into the UK in order to avoid taxation then they'll find that they are the financial losers. These people are even worse than the old landed gentry of the past. We are all people.

and you can get some way towards it if we fight the common enemy and not each other.
The Beveridge Report was a landmark in moving people out of poverty and ill health and contributing more to society for the good of all i post war Britain.
The rich want to take us back to before those times and have us fighting for the scraps.

Too many people can't see this, and get distracted by the rich people pointing at boats. I don't know why they think these people care about them in any way. Maybe they still believe in trickle down.
 
Dyson gets a bad press but how many of you have set up a business from nothing risking your house, employed over 10,000 people in the UK (generally in well paid jobs), paid £100's in millions in tax, offered to work on Covid ventilator technology for free and invested money in local state schools.

What if he decided to take that risk and reward elsewhere at the start?
 
Or maybe the bloke who set up Carpetright, Lord Harris of Peckham who has invested a lot of his hard earned heavily in state school academies.

Not sure I see your point. Good for them, you made your money here, stay and pay your taxes. They will be worth much more, but a 2% increase in tax on wealth over £10 million could raise roughly £24 billion per year. I'm sure they can just about get by in £10m.

But here you are again defending the extremely wealthy. They don't care about you and never will.

And become a tax exile and pay his workers a poor wage. A product of the UK's education system shitting on the system that made him. No excuses, he has a great life, pay proper tax both individual and company.

And so he should. That's what being a citizen is about. Interesting you use the term "hard-earned", surely his employees worked at least as hard and probably far harder for a pittance of a wage and to give him a lot of money.

Amazes me how people think that some people can work hard but should have to worry about whether they can buy food or pay exorbitant energy charges every minute of the day, whilst others can work hard and live the life of reilly, doing whatever they want whenever they want without care.

Not sure if that comment is aimed at me? FYI I made a lot of money as a young man creating my own business and selling it in my 20's - I was brought through in the Thatcher years of individualism and selfishness and I was a good student of it. I have spent the last 35 years of my life working for the state, on a crap wage, with the aim of helping young people in my community.
