how hard do you think it would be? I dont think the bond is that high (<£1k), so cost isnt a restrictive factor.

I'm tempted...

ha ha ha, there must be more provisions in place to stop loads of people running. It seems you need a few quid and some seconders...

If you run as an independant or for a minor party that the local government feel is a threat, expect every obstacle possible to be thrown in your way.

Quote from someone else, but here is what you need to do:

We want immigration stopped
out of the EU
stop the Yanks asset stripping our industries
stop Brown asset stripping public assets
shut the Scots up, who think they should rule the UK
mend our shoddy education
remove as many managers from hospitals as feasible removing target quotas.
Mend the roads and stop the left wing infiltration of the police forces and local government.
Kill off the Fabian society and Common Purpose.
Invest in industry and get the pathetic 12% GDP back to 25% plus.
Stop spending on the welfare work-shy.

It is that simple. Just needs someone to do it.

And increase Income taxes massively to pay for all the above (apart from stopping spending on the welfare workshy - i'm with you on that one.

I'd agree with the abpove but for:

Immigration. Its not as easy as stopping it. Closing the doors to asylum seekers would help though and beefing up the points system so that it has some teeth would help even more.
Out of the EU. The problem is the EU is a big part of our economy now. Not that easy or even sensible to do, no matter how bloated and out of control it has become.
Stop The yanks.... Its not just the Yanks, look at the Spanish and Indian's. they probably own more proportionately to their economies and are just as quick to close everything down and move it home.

Sounds reasonable. My main principle would be...














wait for it.....






















commonsense. silly

Working on the ethic of giving a 'yes' or 'no' answer to any question and then explaining it. None of this waffling you get now.
