I would like to know what you believe would improve the UK politically and what in your own opinion is this country's political downfall?

Do you believe that the UK currently has a party that stands for the right ideals or do you believe that certian aspects are not focused on enough?

I'm curious!

Fair wage for the working man.

A job, a roof over your head, health care, education and a means of earning a fair living being human rights not luxuries.

Anything that interferes with a person obtaining the above rights should be removed/ changed/ remedied by the government.

Capitalism profting from the acquisition of the above human rights - expensive private rents, private healthcare (without the NHS), exploitative working conditions shoud be illegal.

I believe in fair play for all our citizens and that everyone should have a decent standard of living. Incomes should be taxed on a more flexible basis with lower earners paying a tax rate of say 10%, rising thereafter on a more gradual rate at increments of say 5% as incomes rise, to a maximum of 60%. The rich can afford higher levels of taxation. High earners should not be able to utilise tax avoidance taxation techniques and the fiscal authorities should introduce measures which would make tax avoidance much more difficult. Immigration needs to be curtailed and we need to promote employment for the indigenous people of the UK.
Real criminals should receive harsh sentences and in many cases where crimes are against people the thugs should lose their human rights and pay appropriately for their crimes.
The Police and the NHS should be provided with adequate funding but it is essential that they are operated effectively.
I want to feel safe and ensure that no upstanding person suffers from hardship in a modern society. There are too many people suffering from poverty whilst an increasing number are earning exorbitant sums of money with little effort.
Our morals have declined and it is important for the future of society that serious efforts are made to reduce the incidence of alcoholic consumption by the young by increasing the age when it can be bought to 21. Sentencing for drug dealing should be much harsher as should be the taking of illegal substances. Police should be seen on all our streets throughout the day and night and they should be able to take punitive action against offenders. Parents should be held responsible for the deeds of children living with them.

Ladymoonlight is right on the mark.

The only thing I'd add is the introduction of some form of direct democracy which encourages people to actively participate in the process of government far beyond just casting a vote every few years.

No party does which is the reason why this Country has lost it's way. Not even the Church of England gives the clear lead it should and the Church of Rome is strangely muted.

I think the labour government isnt doing enough to help the poor and stop the growing divide betweem the rich and poor.
