We need a new political party

Now that Liam Byrne has confirmed that New Labour plans to carry on with the ConDem austerity measures and welfare cuts I've decided they won't get my vote at the next election. As my conscience won't allow me to vote for the shower of entitled cunts currently in charge it has become abundantly clear what we need is a new party, one that represents the majority, not just the rich and powerful.

Here's a manifesto for the party that would get my vote:-

  • Nationalise the railways.
  • Nationalise all the utilities.
  • Get all private companies out of the NHS.
  • Get control of government back from the corporations.
  • Abolish the civil list.
  • Abolish Workfare.
  • Raise the National Minimum Wage to £8.00 per hour.
The first three are easy to explain and cost. Cost is basically nothing, as the corporations have made millions, if not billions, off our backs over the years, so we merely take them back. Then, as there is no fat cat wanting a profit and a bonus costs are immediately reduced, allowing reductions in fares, electricity and gas prices. Also, it allows for repairs and upgrades to be made to infrastructure without increasing costs.

For the last thirty or so years successive governments have allowed corporations become too powerful, to the extent that the failure of the banks is deemed to be unacceptable, making their debt public, effectively nationalising them whilst allowing them to still pay bonuses and dividends. This has to be changed. Either nationalise the banks or allow them to go under. Corporations should have no say in government policy, no matter how much they pay in bribes to government ministers.

Why does the Civil List still exist? Why do we still give millions of pounds to the Royal Family? No austerity for those parasitic inbreds, we should cut them all loose and if they need money, well, sell a fucking palace.

Workfare is an abomination. Jobs are being cut so employers can get free workers courtesy of the taxpayer. It's just fucking dreadful.

Also, end the Work Capability Assessment, it's inhumane and costs more than it's designed to save. Actually, amend Atos' contract so that every time an appeal is upheld they're fined £1 million. That'll force them to get things right.
