Finding Solutions to Political Issues in Britain

Having retired (early), I have more time on my hands to get annoyed at the news and politicians. (becoming a grumpy old man).

–

I hear comments on the radio from people that just want to criticise with very few coming up with practical solutions that could work.

–

As for the politicians, they just say the opposite of the others and I think their conduct on many occasions is poor and rude. These politicians should be held to the highest of standards but all too often, they fall short.

I have been waiting to see what Reform would have to say, given their increase in popularity. My concern is that they are slipping into the same old roll of telling the public what they want to here, without a credible financial plan on how this can be achieved. This week there was talk of increasing the personal tax allowance to £20k. Whilst we would all welcome it, where will the money come from and by when. We cannot complain about public services if we are not prepared to pay our taxes.

–

Labour, with their large majority have made several major blunders including Winter fuel allowance, Employees NI and Inheritance tax on pensions and farms (I am not sure many people appreciate the consequences of this). Yes,they needed to control the spend and try and balance the budget, but I thinks they have gone about it the wrong way. I do not think the public will forgive them.

–

As for the Conservatives, not sure what to say, they are in a state of flux, without identity and clear direction.

–

The LibDems, they should sit in the centre, but they seem too bland.

–

What we need is a party that will sit in the centre and take policies from both sides as it sees fit, but all the parties are too stuck in their ways. I wonder if any of the Parties have the capability to adapt over the coming years to put the “Great” back in Britain.

So, my Blog is to take some of the problems issues we have as a country and come up with workable solutions, I intend to explain my logic and as best i can have the financial basis for my proposals.

–

The subjects that annoy me currently are

  • Winter Fuel Allowance
  • Increase in Employers National Insurance
  • Inheritance tax on Pension Pots.
  • Student loans.
  • Changes to non-dom status and the exodus of the wealthy
  • Stamp Duty on Housing
  • Paying For illegal Immigrants (Not genuine asylum seekers)
  • Politicians making statement that fall flat when confronted with reality “Smash the Gangs” etc
  • –

So, I think I will comment on the above over the coming months and put forward my potential solutions that I would implement if it was up to me. (Ifitwasup2me).

I would welcome constructive feedback to my comments and would alter my views based upon reasoned arguments.
