Uxbrdige and South Ruislip parliamentary constituency election mailings.
As the election approaches on Thursday its time to look at the literature, lol.
Anyhow in surname alphabetical order here are the policies of the parties standing in the new seat consisting of the council wards of Brunel, Cavendish, Hillingdon East, Manor, South Ruislip, Uxbridge North and South and Yiewsley.
English Democrats: Roger CooperPosing the rhetorical question: “Isn’t it time to put England first” and answering it that the English Democrats will, Mr Cooper promises to scrap the Barnett formula and English Regional Government, campaign for leaving the European Union at a referendum and claims that this would save at least £50bn. The alternative offered is more devolution to English Counties Under “a parliament and government for England” which “should be a democracy”. At local governance level there would be more elected mayors with a cabinet and thus less ward councillors. The check on their powers would be to institute a right of recall on the elected representatives when they do not act in your interests. On UK politics the English Democrats are pledged to create a smaller House of Commons and a small elected House of Lords and fixing MPs salaries and expenses to civil service grades.The leaflet goes on to promise an end to mass immigration and increase high tech manufacturing jobs with no more stealth taxes and reduced business regulation by reducing red tape and getting rid of political correctness. University Tuition fees would be scrapped.His candidacy is endorsed by the elected mayor of Doncaster Peter Davies, saying“I was elected as an English Democrat to cut waste and crack down on political correctness. I am doing it!”www.voteenglish.org
