we are just waiting for you to tear up the constitution so the moment everyone hands their guns in we're going to invade and re-colonise y'all. you have been warned
The Free Public Transport Party has ~wonderful~ ideas like increasing police presence on the streets and creating an EU military. Whilst at the same time abolishing all state punishment. Somehow.
Also decriminalising all drugs because bleach and boiling water are dangerous and legal.
rereading that post, decriminalising drugs is a gr8 idea but their reasoning about it is fuckin stupid on more than one level. let's legalise gun ownership as well, because boiling water is dangerous. also all drugs are definitely as dangerous as consuming bleach. what the hell
"Take the Tube everywhere! Never mind that it probably doesn't go everywhere you want."
We have this problem in DC, because the Metro skipped several important areas (particularly Georgetown), and until the Green Line was completed, central DC north of downtown and Anacostia were left out, too.
"Introduce the Citizen's wage. This is very exciting. Stolen from the Greens, who refuse to take it seriously, as it's probably a vote loser and journalist will laugh at it.
This will allow people to take time off from work when they need to. They may hate their job and want to spend time re-training or to search for a more fulfilling job. They may need a break for childcare or because of physical or mental illness. To build or draw beautiful works of art, invent amazing things, do voluntary work etc.
The Citizen's wage will replace 98% of all benefits. Each person will get it automatically. There will be no tax allowances. Tax will be payable on every pound earned. It will be funded by the cost of all the existing benefits, the huge administration savings, tax allowances, savings from measures in the manifesto and extra taxation if needed."
...I'll be honest, I can't even tell what they're trying to say here.

it looks like a not very good explanation of basic income?

Citizens income is a sensible and very achievable policy but this reads like timecube

some sort of variation on the negative income tax?
"Users of pornography would be liable to be called upon to demonstrate that they have satisfied themselves beyond reasonable doubt, that the sex workers involved have been paid properly, are over 18 and have not been coerced in any way. Failure to do so would result in prosecution"
Another case of "Yes, sex workers do need better conditions but how the god are you going to even enforce that"

"more police presence on the streets" is such a meaningless buzzword policy which every party goes on about
abolishing all state punishment sounds... uh... quite a weird policy idk how that would even work
decriminalising all drugs is unironically a fucking excellent idea which works rly well in lots of other countries around the world
The Nobody Will Ever Get Anywhere Party
Sunn or Fossilmaiden could probably tell you what’s up with that, because now I’m curious too.
I assume by cars they also include buses, and now I'm trying to work out how to navigate London.

Nope. They also have "A living wage to be the national minimum wage. " Which is a good idea of course, but anyway.
the Free Public Transport Party probably just don't realise that that kind of renders the whole 'living wage' thing moot
