The Christian Democratic Alliance
Policies
Providing Everything You Need
Democracy
In our current version of democracy it is too easy for parties with hidden political agendas to influence the results. The manipulation of social media & political news organisations work together to achieve their desired outcomes.
​
We will protect our democracy by ensuring that the voices of the people who have considered the issues and are have a genuine interest in the outcome are heard.
We will give greater voice to the people who actively contribute to our society.
Under our proposals the votes of the people will be weighted based on their contribution to society.
Our policy of representation with taxation will enhance the vote of our highest taxpayers and those most invested in the success of our society
​
​
Security
The primary duty of every government is to protect its citizens.
Our people are constantly under threat from terrorists & insurgents living amongst us.
To protect our people we propose to segregate any person who may be a danger to our society until we can be assured of our safety.
We will nationalise Butlins holiday camps to provide suitable accommodation.
Housing
House prices and rents are soaring. There is an urgent need to provide more affordable homes.
We propose a program to build 500,000 new homes. We build as a series of urban villages on the outskirts of cities across the UK. Each village will be connected to the city with high speed rail services.
The cost will be funded by the sale of existing social housing in sought after residential areas to the private sector .
Environmental
We need to reduce the adverse environmental impact of our society and provide our children with a sustainable future.
The current recycling system is expensive to operate and has limited benefits.
We will standardise the size and shape of all plastic and glass packaging so that it can simply be washed and re-used by all manufacturers.
Devolution
Government from Westminster is too remote and people feel alienated by decisions made on their behalf by self interested politicians that have no relevance to their real lives.
The current system of local government will be reformed by the creation of 250 unitary authorities across the United Kingdom. Each authority will be headed by a locally elected governor and supported by a council of advisors of their choosing. Council taxes and business rates will be replaced by local income and business taxes determined by the governor. Powers currently held by Westminster will be devolved to each unitary authority.
A council of governors will be held each year to determine national policies and to elect one of their number to act as national president
Levelling Up
We will bridge the current North/South divide by ensuring a fair distribution of the advantages & disadvantages enjoyed by each region.
The police will be given powers to ensure a fair distribution of political and environmental protests across the UK. No longer will London have to suffer the inconvenience of protests alone.
In return a proportion of the local revenues collected by the London Unitary Authority will be used to subsidise the cost of pasties and fish & chips in the rest of the country.
Business & Growth
The UK has suffered 2 decades of minimal growth.
In the same period the disparity of remuneration between executivs and employees has increased.
We need to encourage businesses & entreprenuers to expand and ensure that employees are rewarded fairly.
We will lower the standard rate of corporation tax to 15% and allow a 150% tax deduction for all investment expenditure.
As part of their tax returs, all enterprises will be required to decalre the annual salary of the highest & lowest paid employee. An additional corporate tax starting at 5% will be levied on companies where the remuneration of the highest paid employee is more than 10 times the remuneration of the lowest paid employee. The additional rate will be increased basedon the level of income disparity .
Health
We are commited to the provision of free healthcare at the point of delivery.
We need to ensure our National Heath Service has sufficient resources to deliver world leading healthcare and is free from waste & inefficiency.
We will end the practice of consultants, whose training has been funded by the NHS, from working in both the private and national health sectors. All medical professionals trained by the NHS will be required to commit to providing 40 hours a week to the NHS.
​
Agriculture
We need to ensure food security and prevent farmers complaining about the weather.
Together with the NFU we will introduce a code of conduct for all registered farmers that prevents them from attributing poor production & farming practices to the weather and cheap imports.
We will reduce our carbon footprint by restricting imports of agricultural produce that can be produced in Britain.
We have yet to meet a genuinely poor farmer.
