Tory party

I'm so fed up with the Toires after 10 years in power and some of them are moaning that things havent been done.............. well who's to blame, you guys have been the government for 10 years and you havent done anything to sort out any of the problems.

So my question is if you were PM what would you do to make the UK better or change any poliy lie zero hour contracts!!!

I'd nationalise infrastructure like gas and power generation distribution & supply. Years after the privatisation the government had to force a price cap if it was just owned by the state we could simply control the price. Water is obviously nuts as I have one supplier it is a monopoly so the competition makes it better argument sucks.

Free university education. 75% of current student loans are expected to be written off and the burden fall on the exchequer seems a stupid complicated system. Now student debt has to be included in the national debt for the government as a result so its all dumb. Have a graduate tax of say 1p additionally once over £25k earnings.

Also a flat rate tax we all pay 25% on all income above a base allowance no extra allowances exclusions etc whether earned or not you pay tax on it. I'm confident you'd increase the tax yield and overnight stop all the tax avoidance nonsense.

@SW-User Which was most of the Labour manifesto at the last election.
ALL soundly rejected by the majority.

@Picklebobble2 sadly. But just because it wasn't voted for this time doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Democracy allows me and you and everyone to continue to campaign for what they want.

@SW-User Nationaltion has proved to be a bad thing as the companies arent punished and they just carry on paying the share holders and putting the prices up.

I think the best way for Universoities for funding is like the French do, the first year all students get the same funding them each year after the amount of money you get reflects on yr previous year grades, so if your just pissing it up you won't get hardly any money.

Tax needs to be sorted out and all this riasing the limit to help low paid workers all that does is push them over the allowence so they cant claim as much or at all so in effect they are worse off.

@Picklebobble2 Doesn't mean its right, I mean people have voted to be worse off still.

@milkymum1 total mystery to me how the majority thought Johnson’s ideas were so much better when they both involved either spending what we didn't have or returning to the ideas of the 70’s.
Without an effective opposition it gives the government too much autonomy without being scrutinised effectively.

@Picklebobble2 yes all it was promise this promise that spend here spend there but spending the same money, just like the 350M for the NHS!!!!!

all what will happen is this topry party will spend and the eccomney will crash because once the money we have got now is gone we will have to borrow again and more.
