I like the 50% cut on fuel.
However, most of the rest of your list is just nonsense.
Also, Murderers would be Hanged, not hung. Pictures are hung, convicted murderers (in backwards countries) are Hanged

I don't think the OP would consider himself to be a facist and I don't think his opinions reflect any consideration of fascist ideology, I think he's just an idiot and a not particularly usefull one, but what he purports to support is somewhat facist in nature.
Is this going as you expected OP?

As someone who always supported the commonsense party, the manifesto should be simple.
1. never live beyond your means
result: financial security
2. All success should be applauded and pursuit of success supported
result: upward movement of standard of living
3. Welfare system should be for safety not comfort
result: temporary safety and drive to survive and move out of welfare
4. flat tax rates of 30% with 10% of total tax take for long term appreciating/dividend paying investment both domestic and international.
result: equality in tax law and long term financial security of the nation
5. Central Govt. services should be restricted to basics of health care, defense, law and order, judiciary, prison/rehabilitation, education to A-levels, national infrastructure.
result: politicians cannot buy votes, fundamentals of a country is secure and well run
6. Charitable donations to be free of tax.
result: education, sports, health, rehabilitation, foreign aid etc are furthered by the general attitude and philanthropy of the people
7. Assets held for more than 20 years to be free of inheritance tax
result: hard work of the previous generation passed on to the next and a culture of financial responsibility develops among the people
8. Freedom of religion, sex and culture, no preference or discrimination in public.
result: absolute equality, no PC ness
9. School curriculum to include national history, finance, politics.
result: no more brainwashing kids and they are encouraged to develop with sound basics of life
10. A levels to include national service.
result: national pride, civic duty develops among the future generation
11. Prescribed mandatory penal sentences for general crimes, hard labour to be part of sentence.
result: everyone knows the deal..no more ambiguity
Im sure more can be added, but the idea is to get the basics right and the rest will sort itself out.

I am not sure if I should be pleased or worried that a few of those seem like good ideas to me.

Perhaps he's invented Fascism Lite - all the Daily Mail with none of the dodgy uniforms and perecution of minorities. Then again. . . . .

There was bloody miles of metal fencing along the cycling time trial route yesterday. Maybe this could be the legacy use?
