There’s been so much concentration on the TV debates that you may have missed some of our best policies as set out in our manifesto!
So I thought I would list a random collection:
We will introduce a Banking Levy on bank profits, so that banks pay for their tax-payer guarantee.
Bring in step-on-request for night buses, so that you are let off the bus as close to your home as possible.
Launch an ‘Eco Cash-back’ scheme for the first year of the new government. This will give you £400 if you install double glazing, replace a boiler or install micro-generation.
We will uprate the state pension annually by whichever is the higher of growth in earnings, growth in prices or 2.5% whichever is the higher.
Invest £400 million in refurbishing shipyards so that they manufacture offshore wind turbines and other marine renewable energy equipment.
Allow Mums and Dads to share parental leave between them, introducing much greater flexibility.
Phase out University tuition fees over 6 years, helping to reduce the appaling burden of debt being loaded onto young people.
Legislate to end unfair bank and financial transaction charges so you cannot be charged more than the costs incurred.
Give a pay rise to the lower ranks of the armed forces so that their pay is brought into line with the starting salary of their emergency service counterparts.
Impose maximum interest rates for credit cards and store cards following consultation with the financial industry and consumer groups.
Scrap ID cards and use the savings to pay for 3,000 more police on the beat.
Make Network Rail refund a third of your ticket price if you have to take a rail replacement bus service.
Abolish the Infrastructure Planning Commission and return decision-making, including housing targets, to local people.
Scrap ‘home information packs’ for when you buy a home saving you money.
