welcome to the mountaintop Group: Admin. Posts: 33,617 Member No.: 12,929 Joined: 3-February 11 No Gallery Pics	Ah, I thought I'd collect them together anyway. Conservative Manifesto: Get Brexit Done/Unleash Britain's Potential Green Manifesto: Green New Deal Labour Manifesto: It's Time For Real Change Liberal Democrats: Jo Swinson's Plan For Britain's Future Plaid Cymru - Wales It's Us SNP Manifesto - Stronger For Scotland Politics mods feel free to add in links for NI parties as well as minor parties if relevant - Sinn Fein don't seem to have a functioning website and it didn't seem fair to only link the DUP, who also have not released a manifesto yet. As the major Great Britain-wide parties have now all released their manifestos, let's have a thread. Use this thread for perusing the manifestos through whatever deep dives you feel are appropriate, and for politely discussing the benefits and drawbacks of their policies.

I'll let Bernie Sanders finish, but it's just a thing of absolute beauty. Unfortunately a lot have been brainwashed into repesting the soundbites and lies of the hard right media.

Thank you for this - a handy reference. Costings documents too - although it's debatable as to whether anyone will trust them... This post has been edited by vidcapper: Nov 24 2019, 04:58 PM

Their costing seems rather off as well. They somehow expect to increase tax revenue from corporation tax by 75% from 2020-2021 to 2021-2022 by keeping the tax rate at 19%?

Well Marr said that to Michael Gove this morning and he answered that we'd be officially out on 31st Jan. and no further extensions for any trade agreements to be ratified. Oh and we'd still be good friends with the EU.

If it’s so excellent, why did Scottish Labour vote against the 65% of it that is directly lifted from the SNPs record in government? Half of it is just bringing England up to speed with the devolved administrations QUOTE(common sense @ Nov 24 2019, 05:34 PM) Well Marr said that to Michael Gove this morning and he answered that we'd be officially out on 31st Jan. and no further extensions for any trade agreements to be ratified.

In fact hardly anything about benefits at all. Good that there'll be 50,000 more nurses as well as thousands more recruited from abroad. A lot come from Philippines but hope wife's three nieces who are nurses don't come here as don't really want anyone living with us. Think they go in nurses accommodation though don't they? 20,000 more police officers too is good. This post has been edited by common sense: Nov 24 2019, 06:00 PM

Includes some great quotes from the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police about the 20.000 extra cops

Those who have left and less people training for the jobs. We shouldn't really be poaching from abroad but training a lot more ourselves here. Nurses aren't poorly paid either as I see a lot of them claiming they are. This post has been edited by common sense: Nov 24 2019, 06:23 PM

So less people here wanted to become nurses. Unless the government invest properly in education and pay, then we're going to have to continue to fill shortages via immigration.

BuzzJack Legend Group: Members Posts: 21,106 Member No.: 53 Joined: 7-March 06 No Gallery Pics	Oh and I have a bee in my bonnet about the housing shortage. Why when we're short of family homes is a lady I know allowed to stay in a Housing Association 3 bedroom house now her husband has died and her two children have left home? I told her straight she should have been made to move to a 1 bedroom flat and she fell out with me. She's not subject to the bedroom tax as she's a pensioner so gets all her rent paid. Is that fair? A homeless family could have that house. She says all her memories are there. She's only 66 so could be there another 30 years. This post has been edited by common sense: Nov 24 2019, 06:46 PM
