If You Were Leader Of A Political Party ...

[naomi24]

... what would your manifesto contain?

[ToraToraTora]

I would not bother with one at all. They are pointless straight jackets used to beat you later. No party can stick to a manifesto and I would not want them to. A government needs to react to what it encounters as it progresses. They should have an A4 leaflet with a general outline of direction, that's all.

A pack of lies and the promise of a new day.

[Gromit]

End excessive immigration. 
End NHS waiting lists. 
Nationalise the water companies   
Adequately fund our armed forces.  
Cut income tax. 
Prosecute more tax evaders and tax avoiders. 
Recruit 5,000 more police officers annually for 5 years. 
Scrap any plans for a Football Regulator. 
Make the BBC independent of Government and reform the way it is paid for.

So a big increase on funding for the NHS, police and armed forces, and lower taxes?

 

[naomi24]

Magic!

Yep. That is what Boris Johnson promised in 2019.

I Would promise to build 40 new hospitals, recruit 50,000 new nurses,  60,000 new doctors 80,000 new policemen, reduce waiting time for the NHS and reduce Immigration by the tens of thousands.Knowing that I hadn't a cat in hells chance of delivering any of these things . But for my sake and my own gain only please elect me as you Pm. I always wanted to be King of England but PM will do..Oops someone has already done that haven't they sorry. Naomi.

To add £100 billion (annually) to the UK economy, this would result in an additional £40 billion in tax paid to the exchequer and grow the UK economy by 4%.

 

How could Hymie achieve such impossible pledges in his manifesto?

 

Simple – undo Brexit.

[drmorgans]

 

Not very ambitious. Didn't the Bozo want to be World King?
