whether the parties will be proceeding with the £50bn spend on HS2, or not; if not, what measures do they propose to allieviate the fact that a "do nothing" option will choke the west coast route to a standstill in less than 5 years.......

(there are a number of almost nil cost options that would sort it overnight.....)
I think the National Health Service is the biggest problem to tackle. It affects all ages and genders from birth to end of life care. More tax breaks for small businesses to allow them to grow and in turn take on more staff. A referendum on Europe, and a points system for immigration into the country -we want talented professionals and hard working tradespeople in the country, not unemployed low life from eastern Europe.
Here's my full manifesto:

1. Withdraw from the EU

2. Withdraw as a signatory to the ECHR

er....that's it.

^ So NJ, you are Nigel Farage in disguise. I thought as much.
someone must have told the truth in a manifesto
for the little good it did him

DIdnt the chairman of the Fed - 1929 say something like
yow - boy this is gonna be a biggie !
and get relieved of his job ?

and he said ( the chmn ) for chrissakes everyone knows that
and whoever fired him said - for gods sake you are meant to be political

I prefer what we have right now.Paliament has been dissolved,but the country keeps on running.Do we actually need a government.From what I recall a couple of years ago Belgium lasted about a year with no governance whatsoever.Cant Britain do the same and save a few billion on our workshy and spendthrift MPs.
about eighteen months

the Leterme Government remained in office in a caretaker role for 589 days—the longest run on record for a caretaker government in the developed world

also when the Nixon adin was paralysed by the watergate scandal in the seventies the Lnd of the Free wasnt badly governed
-- answer removed --
Make us independent of electricity and of food and save the 'Pubs'.
No I'm not Nigel Farage in cognito, Ludwig. But since my manifesto has about as good a chance o being fulfilled than any of the others I though I'd keep it simple.
1. Withdraw from the EU (and no, I am NOT Nigel Farage in a frock)

2. Stop child benefit for third and subsequent children

3. Slash the overseas aid budget by 75%

4. For those on Jobseekers Allowance, bring back the rules that applied to the old "dole" system. You are offered up to three jobs. If you refuse all three, then your benefits stop.

I am frantically working on the rest of my manifesto....
MrsO...I think they are already doing No4.
“Do Signposts in Kilometers and Money in Euros.”

The signposts won’t matter too much, methyl (apart from the costs involved) but do you seriously believe it would be in the UK’s best interests to adopt the euro? I think (and hope) you will have to wait a little longer.

Whilst we’re on the topic, what makes you think the UK will become a bankrupt island should we leave the EU? Do you think trade with the remaining EU nations will suddenly stop? Do you think the Germans will suddenly stop selling us their Beamers? Do you think that the UK (unshackled by the constraints of the EU) will suddenly become a pariah state for foreign investors to park their dosh? Do you really believe the claptrap spouted by the Euromaniacs that the UK can only prosper from within the EU. How do other non-member nations (many of them considerably better off than the UK) manage, I wonder?
1. Free carehomes for all those who need it so they don't have to sell their homes (get the money from reduced foreign aid)
2. Mrs O's Number 2
3. Never ever cave in to methyl's Number 3 request
4. Stop all building on green land, including solar farms.
5. Send convicted immigrant criminals, particularly those from the EU - back home.
No, that’s a popular myth, ummm. The “sanctions” process does not extend to penalise those who refuse suitable jobs. In fact it says nothing about accepting or declining work at all. To avoid sanctions claimants must:

• Be available for work and agree to do the things in your Claimant Commitment (Jobseeker’s Agreement )

• go to meetings on time with your work coach and take part in interviews

• apply for suitable jobs your work coach tells you about

• do everything your work coach tells you to do to find work, such as attending a training course or updating your CV

• take part in employment schemes when your work coach tells you to. You’ll need to meet your employment scheme provider on time and do the things they tell you to do to find work. You’ll still need to meet your work coach and do what they tell you to do.

• do all you can to find work

You will note from this leaflet:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416930/dwpf15-0315.pdf

the conditions I have set out above. Whilst it emphasises that claimants must do all they can to find work there is nothing to say that if unsuccessful in their quest, or unwilling by “failing” interviews”, that sanctions will be applied. The reason for this is obvious – there is no way to prove that a person failing to be recruited to a seemingly suitable post is actually unsuitable or has simply decided to go through the required motions but present themselves as deliberately unsuitable on the day. Claimants have to comply with the process but they do not have to be successful in finding work.
Any present party:

A promise to abolish any party system in politics. Abolish the monarchy as it is without any raison d'etre and an anachronism. Make the second house fully electable with parts at a time being put up for re-election at different times to the lower house. An assurance that constituencies will be able to tell their chosen representative how they wish them to vote prior to voting on an important issue, and get a full explanation on the how/why they eventually voted afterwards: with an option to call for a loss of confidence if they seem to continually ignore those they represent in favour of their own personal desires. Plus a promise to invest in tech such that before too long citizens can vote directly on issues and not have to rely on a representative save for the non-controversial day to day votes, and the preparation / making available of summaries of the pros and cons of arguments being made on important issues.

That might do as a start. Trouble is none of them are bound to the promises they make anyway so why should I believe them ?
I've no objection to the Mint doing money in Euros for those countries daft enough to adopt it. They should ensure a good profit margin though.
Build more nuclear power stations and abolish wind farms/solar farms
Greatly reduce Air Passenger Duty
Build a third runway at Heathrow
Spend less on overseas aid and use the money to bolster the NHS
Implement a points system for immigrants
Withdraw from the ECHR
5. Be ruthless with Health Tourists. They cost us £millions. If someone has the slightest sniffle or is pregnant when they get off the plane, the authorities should demand to see their cash (and cash only) or send them straight back.

I personally know a Ghanain who came here on "holiday" with no intention of ever going back, knowing full well she had Lupus and was going into kidney failure. At a conservative estimate, this individual alone has cost this country around £1 million...so far.
Removal from the E.U.
Return to English weights and measures.
Reduce overseas aid by 75%.
Put this money into the NHS.
Tear up the ooman rights rubbish.
Deport all scroungers to Canvey Island.
