Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerAbortions should be done on-demand until the 21st week. Abortion for medical reasons could be performed until 24 weeks and there'd be a 5-day waiting period. |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerNo. I would however want to reform the gun laws in the UK. I would create a British Weapons Act which would require an acquisition license for handguns and a carrying license for the carrying of any permitted firearm for defensive purposes. Exceptions would be made for hunters. Automatic weapons would be banned. Members of the British military would be allowed to keep their issued personal weapon in their home. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
8>8 Personal answerYes, I believe 11% of the GDP should be spent on mental health research and treatment. I’d wish to create a system where for emergencies, people can attend psychiatric clinic or outpatient department. I would make sure that there is standard care in psychiatric specialist practices and psychotherapeutic practices. |
Foreign Policy › Human Rights Act
8>8 Personal answerYes, I would change the Human Rights Act and make a law so that people would have freedom of expression, religion and belief, right to privacy, and internet freedom. I would not allow anyone to discriminate on the grounds of religion, belief, political opinion, race, sex or any other grounds. There would be both negative and positive rights as well as democratic rights. There would also be social rights such as the right to housing, social security, healthcare, education, and employment. The democratic rights would be the passive and active right to vote. I believe that it would be better to sign off on the declarations posed by other European Countries, which would be the European Convention on Human Rights, Rome Statute, and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights European Convention on Torture, and the European Social Charter. |
Healthcare › NHS Privatisation
8>8 Personal answerI would make all people of the UK pay for their healthcare. However, once they have reached an annual limit of expenditure of £165, people would get an exemption card which allows them to get free healthcare for the rest of the year. I would have the healthcare policy controlled centrally, but local authorities would organise and finance primary healthcare services according to local demand. The central government would have overall managerial and financial responsibility for the hospital sector. All public hospitals would be run by 4 Regional Health Authorities overseen by the Ministry of Health and Care Services. These would be central, north, south and east, and west. A small number of hospitals would be privately owned but most would be publicly funded. I’d also make sure that all GPs manage their own appointment system. If a person wasn’t happy with their GP, they could change to the doctor of their choice provided they have vacancies and this would be free of charge. I’d permit people to change doctor twice per year. Any change would be effective from the first day of the following month. Children under 16 and pregnant women would be entitled to free healthcare. The NHS would be the primary access point for healthcare administration in the UK. Through the NHS, you can choose or change your regular GP, order a European Health Insurance Card and obtain reimbursement of medical expenses when appropriate. Every individual in the healthcare system will have a digital healthcare file. This records notes made by your GP and information from hospitals, specialists and other health institutes, such as test results. Privacy is important and only you and healthcare personnel directly involved in your treatment are able to access the records. People would be able to access their own records online. Any person would have the right to access their health records and to have any difficult to understand terms explained. A person would also have the right to know who has accessed the file and/or been provided with in |
Foreign Policy › European Union
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gay Marriage
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerI’d want to reform the British tax system. Firstly, I’d put in place a system whereby there would be a 21% tax rate on distributed profits. So if a company earnt £100 and gave that £100 to its shareholders, £21 of that would be paid in tax. However, if the business reinvested that, they would not be required to pay tax. Now, this does not mean that the income goes untaxed. Instead, the profit is potentially taxed at a 21 percent capital gains rate. If the business reinvests its £100 profit, it is probable that the value of the business would increase and, with it, the value of a shareholders shares. If a shareholder were then to sell their shares, they would face the 21 percent capital gains tax rate. I'd also provide 100% exemption on all foreign earned income. Property tax would be based on the value of the land and any buildings or structures built on top of this information. There would not be an estate tax, transfer taxes, wealth taxes, or financial transaction taxes. VAT would be at 20% and labour taxes would be at 40%. There would be a 21% corporate tax as well. |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerI would rather allow people to enter salary arbitration if they have been working from the age of 16 for 4 years. If they are working in the same kind of job as compared to someone else either domestically or in another country, I'd allow them to bargain their way to a higher salary which is fair based on their age and compared to a similar country. |
Immigration › Deportation of Suspected Terrorists
8>8 Personal answerYes, but they should be given the chance to appeal, which would either be in the way of giving the UK a good reason for you to stay, or appealing to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerNo, it should remain perfectly legal to not sign up to do this, but with the benefits of this such as increased healthcare insurance, holiday travel and museum visits not applying to those who opt out. |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
8>8 Personal answerI believe that UK businesses should have to apply for an environmental license from the Environment Agency. This license will set out the measures in order to reduce carbon emissions via electricity, refrigeration, and transport. British businesses should work in a coordinated fashion with the British Retail Consortium Environmental Action Group to also step up efforts to become carbon neutral ahead of schedule. |
Social › Euthanasia
8>8 Personal answerYes, but also for people with ‘unbearable suffering’. I’d legalise euthanasia medication so that people can end their lives via assisted suicide in a special clinic. Life should have the permission to be ended after intensive interviewing and assessment, as well as the approval of a doctor. |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Education › Tuition Fees
8>8 Personal answerNo, I would still make non-European citizens pay for tuition but British students would be exempt from paying university tuition fees. However, I would make everyone, including British university students, pay for materials and accommodation. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
8>8 Personal answerYes, there should be a legal obligation to have women taking up 30% of senior positions. |
Education › Free School Meals
8>8 Personal answerNo, schools shouldn't have to offer free meals. They should instead foster healthy eating habits by prohibiting all sugar sweetened drinks and have a food policy. |
Social › Hate Speech
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
8>8 Personal answerNo, the government should first invest in a program which helps the state to understand the nature of threats, misuse of technology and artificial intelligence by terrorists. Finally, the government should invest in new technology to detect terrorists, and then develop regional, national, and international strategies to address the misuse of technology and artificial intelligence by terrorists. |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerThey should make it stricter, particularly regarding employment. I would cap the total percentage of immigrant workers in the UK at 11%. |
the Economy › Tax Rate
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Fox Hunting
8>8 Personal answerYes but people who do this should need a permit by law |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerI would put into place a National Immunisation Programme where the target would be to get 95% of children vaccinated against preventable diseases. However, this would not be compulsory. The first round of vaccinations would be performed from age 0-4, then then at age 9, the vaccinations of DTP and MMR are repeated. At age 13, girls would be offered vaccination to protect against cervical cancer. These vaccinations would be free of charge. |
Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Government Spending
8>8 Personal answerYes, it is essential that if the government for example spent a record amount in the first financial quarter of a year, they would then spend a record low in the second quarter to try to balance the books. To create an example, if the government spend £840 million in the first quarter of 2020, in the second quarter, the expenditure should come down to £502 million |
the Economy › Mansion Tax
8>8 Personal answerNo, the amount of tax should be based on the land size and the buildings based upon that information. |
Healthcare › NHS Profit Reimbursement
8>8 Personal answerYes they should reimburse extra healthcare costs for certain groups of patients |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
8>8 Personal answerWhat we instead should be teaching people is to forget about the negative behavioural aspects of certain people belonging to certain ethnic minorities. We should be focusing on the positive behaviour of role models who portray positive behaviour patterns for people to look up to and should not be based on propaganda to treat people specially because of the colour of their skin. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
8>8 Personal answerI would legalise marijuana, but only within certain boundaries. I'd allow a person to have 25 grams of plant material or 5 grams of hashish. Possession of a 10-day supply wouldn't be subject to any penalties for a first-time offense. However, subsequent offenses may be subject to civil penalties or mandated treatment. Medical use would be allowed but personal cultivation for use would be against the law. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
8>8 Personal answerYes, each family should have to pay for English lessons if they don’t speak and understand English. The cost would depend on how well each member of the family can speak English already. |
the Economy › Welfare
8>8 Personal answerI would want the government to commit to spending 30% of the GDP on social benefits. This should include support for pension, health, and unemployment |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerI would keep corporation tax at 21%. |
Healthcare › Vaccine Passports
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Inheritance Tax
8>8 Personal answerYes, I would instead gain income tax from any gains from transfers of property received as inheritance or gifts and I’d cap income tax at 20%. |
Foreign Policy › United States of Europe
8>8 Personal answerNo, because it shouldn’t just be taking all forms of trade deals from the United States. It doesn’t promote innovation even though it could be a big economical gain for some countries. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerNo, I would want 90% of the UK’s energy to be powered by hydropower and the other 10% to be geothermal energy. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerI would decriminalise all drugs as I believe in putting the emphasis on rehabilitation and a new social care plan to help people understand the effects of drugs. I think by decriminalising all drugs, this will lead to the reduction in overdoses, HIV infections, and drug related crime. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerI think all single use plastic should be completely banned as of 2021. I think the alternatives should be found for products such as drinks stirrers, chopsticks, and plates. The alternative materials are things such as palm leaf, bamboo, and copper stainless steel. |
the Economy › Child Benefit
8>8 Personal answerNo. It should apply to any number of children up to the age of 7. |
Education › GCSE Exams
8>8 Personal answerNo, I don’t believe exams give a fair reflection of a person’s ability. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Education › Standardised Curriculum
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Animal Testing
8>8 Personal answerThey should ban the use of gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans in experiments and find alternative ways to test efficacy and safety of such products. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
8>8 Personal answerYes, I believe the government should spend £462 million a year on public transportation, with a target of generating £35 million in ticket sales |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerYes, but I think this should be part of a bigger government anti fake news initiative. This initiative would be aimed at teaching residents, students, journalists, and politicians how to counter false information designed to sow division. |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
8>8 Personal answerYes, I believe that there should be an anti-corruption law set up. This would include the provisions to protect and encourage whistleblowers, as well as penalties for any person or organisation that engages in corruption. There would be a strengthened national interest in free speech, anonymity for whistleblowers and the transparency of corporations and the government. I would make sure that whistleblowing is a legally, and socially protected right. |
Domestic Policy › House of Lords
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Transportation › National Railway
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › British Monarchy
8>8 Personal answerI don’t think it should be abolished, as Prince Charles set up the Princes Trust, and we also have the Diana Award. I also think the Queen maintains strong relationships with the rest of the Commonwealth and helps to build long term connections between nations supporting one another in times of difficulty. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
8>8 Personal answerI would increase spending on foreign aid from 0.7% of GDP to 2% of GDP. |
Healthcare › Emergency Medical Care
8>8 Personal answerYes. If you are from an EU country or Switzerland, you would have some healthcare rights when visiting the UK. By bringing your EHIC with you, this card proves your right to treatment. You will still have to pay for treatment the same way that UK residents do. If you are from another country, private healthcare insurance is a must. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
8>8 Personal answerNo, immigrants should gain citizenship either through descent or grant. Both would be administered by the foreign office. People would be eligible for British citizenship if they were born overseas but have at least one parent who was a British citizen when their child was born. By the way of grant, if you have children, they don’t have to meet all the requirements to get British citizenship. |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
8>8 Personal answerNo, but they should be penalised for committing an offense against the drug laws of the country and be educated about how to control the buying and selling of the drugs. |
the Economy › Bonus Cap
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › National Service
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
8>8 Personal answerNo, because this just stigmatises those who are less well off. People who are very well off who use drugs don’t get this kind of treatment, so why should welfare recipients? |
Social › Niqāb
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
8>8 Personal answerPolice should be able to carry the following: handgun, taser, extendable baton, pepper spray, a set of handcuffs, ammunition magazines, gloves, torch and a 2-way radio. |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerI would increase military spending from 2.1% to 4%. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
8>8 Personal answerThe UK should be competing with other countries to hire immigrant workers with skills on the Essential Skills in Demand (ESID) list and these people should find it easier to apply for a temporary visa or a resident visa. |
the Economy › 32-Hour Work Week
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Fracking
8>8 Personal answerNo, I would instead want to build a drilling resource in one of the smaller places in the UK where they can take a chance on providing geothermal energy via this drilling resource. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
8>8 Personal answerNo, I think the voting age of 18 is absolutely fine. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
8>8 Personal answerNo, I believe that that they should just censor any websites which are judged by the British courts to be of a critical nature |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
8>8 Personal answerYes, everyone’s tax return should be made public and there should be nowhere to hide. |
Foreign Policy › Trident Nuclear Weapons Programme
8>8 Personal answerYes, as I believe this is currently the best form of weaponry. I shall have the same viewpoint until really proven otherwise. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerNo, the funding should be given to different areas in order to maintain their police departments. |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
8>8 Personal answerYes, but I wouldn’t necessarily use those terms. I would call them drug outreach teams, but I would also decriminalise all drugs so that drug use is seen as a medical problem, not a criminal one. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
8>8 Personal answerHurt |
Crime › Private Prisons
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › West Lothian Question
8>8 Personal answerYes, because I think it helps to keep a solid democracy |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
8>8 Personal answerForeign visitors in the UK should be allowed to vote but only if they have been registered for a period of 3 years. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
8>8 Personal answerYes, because after fair treatment after their crime, they should be given a second chance to rebuild their life having learnt from their mistakes. To me the legislative teams would be able to decide whether they are safe to be given this chance. |
Education › Grammar Schools
8>8 Personal answerNo. I would rather have a system of 1-year pre-primary education for 6-year-olds, then 9-year basic education for children aged 7-16. Then I’d have a system where there’d be post-compulsory education which would include a 3-year general and vocational upper secondary education and training. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
8>8 Personal answerYes, but they shouldn’t be allowed to hide this. I would allow citizens to use the services of a bank outside the UK as long as it is done for legitimate reasons. I would make sure there are compliance requirements and also make sure these are declared back to the UK for tax reasons. |
Domestic Policy › Zero Hour Contracts
8>8 Personal answerNo, by law I would make it an obligation for an employer to give an employee a contract if they work for 8 hours per week in the same job role for more than a month. The employer, by law, would have to clarify the time, place, period, salary and pay date |
Immigration › EU Migrant Quota
8>8 Personal answerYes, I believe they should impose a quota of 1,000 refugees per country per year |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
8>8 Personal answerYes. There should be no restriction to UK citizens also holding citizenship of another country. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
8>8 Personal answerNo, genetically modified crops and food should be banned. |
Domestic Policy › House of Lords
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
8>8 Personal answerYes, I'd contribute 11% of the GDP to the World Health Organisation to contribute towards multiple efforts including psycho-social support, access to medicines, sexual and reproductive health and rights, water and sanitation, antimicrobial resistance and health emergencies and preparedness. |
Immigration › Migrant Children
8>8 Personal answerYes. They should be able to apply for a residence class visa so they can join their family. |
Foreign Policy › Afghanistan
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes. But there should be legislation in place where the prisons can educate inmates about their voting rights. Some of this legislation could be changed depending on the severity of the crime. |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
8>8 Personal answerNo, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerYes. But the government should have to disclose this |
Foreign Policy › EU Authoritarian Sanctions
8>8 Personal answerNo, because I think this would pose violations to human rights. Most EU countries currently are not authoritarian. Countries with political unrest such as Russia, Azerbaijan, Poland, Hungary, Belarus, Armenia, Turkey, Romania, Estonia and Macedonia are seen as authoritarian countries, and this should not be forced onto any country as a sanction because it also compromises democratic rights. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerNo. Instead I would want a comprehensive plan to stop radicalisation and terrorist ideologies being given the chance to find a breeding ground. I would create a platform that would include combatting financial, human, logistic, and terrorist propaganda networks. I’d also make sure to reduce terrorist groups’ regional holds, prevent radicalisation, and protect British interests and British nationals abroad. To achieve this, I would make sure we take determined military action, stabilise liberated areas and seek political solution to conflict, and enhance international cooperation to fight terrorist financing in particular. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerNo, I believe other countries should look to spend a bit more of their GDP on defence and therefore not take advantage of the support of the UK every time they might be in a difficult situation. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
8>8 Personal answerNo, but social media companies do need to take more responsibility for what they allow to be published on their networks. Plus, people should have the right to free speech and be allowed to express a non-hateful opinion about something. |
Foreign Policy › Central EU Agency
8>8 Personal answerNo because I believe that the in particular the UK, France, Germany and Russia would be taken advantage of more since these are seemingly the 4 most powerful nations with regards to intelligence agencies. I don’t think other countries have the resources to make this worthwhile. |
the Economy › Bedroom Tax
8>8 Personal answerYes, I would decrease the amount of benefits paid if there were more rooms than occupants in the household. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
8>8 Personal answerYes, I believe that the term should be a fixed 4-year term for all members of the House of Commons, but the Prime Minister shouldn’t have directly set terms. They should just have to maintain the full backing of the House of Commons. |
Education › Free Schools
8>8 Personal answerYes but they must meet certain educational standards and teach a certain range of curricula |
Foreign Policy › European Commission
8>8 Personal answerNo, because I believe that because the European Commission is elected by proportional representation, that this is the best way to keep it in the best democratic format. |
Domestic Policy › Devolved English Parliament
8>8 Personal answerNo, the cons far outweigh the pros of having a devolved parliament |
Transportation › London Underground
8>8 Personal answerI'd say they should be allowed to strike but only if the workers are members of a specific labour union. It should be a collective agreement and would not be allowed based on an individual request to strike. Non-union members must join the union in order to participate in a strike. They should have the right to bargain collectively. A strike could only be called if agreed upon by by the body of the organisation responsible for operating the London Underground service. There should also be consequences for people who go on strike such as having their contract terminated as well as not receiving their salary or any other benefits, such as pension contributions, paid leave, and unemployment and sickness benefits. The economic loss would be compensated by labour market organisations. |
Education › School Truancy
8>8 Personal answerThey should only confiscate welfare benefits if a family don't send their child back to school after a certain period of time. |
the Economy › Free Broadband
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Education › Charter Schools
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Welsh Assembly
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)
8>8 Personal answerNo, I would instead offer teenagers more music, dance, sports, and art clubs to help them feel like part of a community. I would offer families with children which fall under a certain low-income threshold £250 a year per child of a family, to spend on activities. |
Foreign Policy › European Union Countries
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
8>8 Personal answerNo, I think it poses a major threat to British democracy amongst other things such as food standards, jobs, privacy, banking regulations, and environmental regulations |
Transportation › High Speed 2
8>8 Personal answerYes, and extend it to other UK cities so that people can have the option of rail to travel to work if they need |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
8>8 Personal answerYes, because I believe it could have a positive impact on the economy |
