Housing and Land Reform

End corporate landlordism. Only individuals resident in the UK may own and rent residential property. Corporate ownership of rental housing, or ownership by non-resident individuals, would be prohibited.

Gradual phase-out. Existing corporate holdings would be grandfathered but frozen: no new acquisitions. Over time, properties would return to individual ownership as companies divest.

Progressive land tax. Companies or investors holding undeveloped land with planning permission would pay a progressive tax that rises annually, discouraging land banking and speculative hoarding.

Planning reform. The Town and Country Planning Act system would be simplified—keeping safety and environmental standards but removing unnecessary bureaucracy, allowing small builders and individuals to construct homes efficiently.

Zoning modernization. Retain zoning for safety and environmental purposes but make it flexible. Encourage mixed-use development and adaptable urban planning inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian models.

Natural Monopolies and Infrastructure

Reclaim natural monopolies. Water, public transport, and energy are natural monopolies and should be publicly owned and regulated. Privatization has failed in these areas; gradual re-nationalization would occur with long-term transition plans.

Phased public reacquisition. The state buys back these assets over time, ensuring accountability while maintaining modern corporate governance.

Energy independence and transition. Reopen North Sea oil and gas responsibly. Revenues go into a British Energy Transition Fund that finances nuclear power, renewables, and energy storage. Fossil fuels pay for their own obsolescence.

Manufacturing revival. Use domestic energy security to reindustrialize Britain, focusing on advanced materials, green tech, and manufacturing self-sufficiency.

Economic System and Taxation

Simplified tax structure. Merge income tax and National Insurance into a single transparent tax. Index thresholds to inflation to prevent stealth taxation.

Top rate fairness. Cap income tax at 50%. No tax rate should exceed half of an individual’s income; taxation should reward work, not punish it.

Luxury VAT. Introduce higher VAT rates for luxury goods—yachts, jewellery, luxury cars.

Healthy VAT. Keep fresh, unprocessed foods VAT-free; increase VAT on ultra-processed and unhealthy foods to encourage better public health outcomes.

Inheritance reform. Inherited assets are untaxed if kept and used productively. Tax applies only when the asset is sold, tapering gradually over twenty years. Encourages long-term stewardship over short-term profiteering.

Dividends as income. Dividends and investment income should be taxed at the same rates as earned income, closing the loophole that privileges unearned wealth.

Welfare and Work

Targeted safety net. Welfare should remain for those with physical disabilities, severe mental illnesses (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder), and veterans with PTSD.

Conditional unemployment benefits. Able-bodied recipients must provide evidence of job-seeking or retraining. Refusal to engage would result in the withdrawal of benefits.

Gradual reform. Existing recipients are transitioned gently to the new system; no abrupt cuts. Welfare becomes a tool for reintegration, not indefinite dependence.

Pensions and Lifelong Savings

Phased transition. The pay-as-you-go state pension system will phase out by around 2075, replaced by a private, individual pension-pot system similar to Australia’s Superannuation model.

Unified taxation. Merge NI with income tax for simplicity and transparency.

Citizen investment at birth. Upon birth registration, the government deposits £5,000 into a world index fund for each child. When that person reaches adulthood, they repay the inflation-adjusted principal to the state, while keeping the compounded gains as lifelong personal savings.

Strict regulation. Pension pots and investment accounts must be tightly regulated to prevent financial abuse or speculative exploitation.

Immigration and Foreign Policy

Managed immigration. Immigration should be economically driven, used to fill skill shortages identified through data and evidence.

Citizenship-based welfare. Only British citizens receive welfare and benefits. Non-citizens contribute through work, not entitlement.

Temporary restraint on foreign aid. Suspend or reduce foreign aid during economic recovery to focus on domestic stability.

Global partnership phase. Once recovered, Britain creates a new Commonwealth or International Service Corps: experts in infrastructure, medicine, and education working alongside developing nations to help them grow in place, reducing migratory pressure.

Partnership, not paternalism. Aid is delivered through cooperation, respecting local cultures and sovereignty, and focusing on sustainable self-reliance.

Defence, Civic Service, and Employment

AI-era employment resilience. As automation replaces many jobs, especially for younger generations, establish civic employment programmes in sectors AI cannot replicate—military service, healthcare, social care, construction, and infrastructure.

Incentivized service. Participants receive tax breaks, housing priority, or education benefits. Purpose replaces unemployment; contribution replaces dependency.

Devolution and the Union

Federal fiscal framework. The UK Parliament sets a national tax base rate. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland may add regional surcharges but cannot lower or redefine the base rate.

Ring-fenced funding. Transfers from England to devolved governments (roughly £40 billion annually) must be used strictly for healthcare, policing, and essential services—not for luxury entitlements like free tuition or optical care.

Accountability and choice. If devolved nations disagree, they retain the democratic right to an independence referendum. Independence must, however, come with full fiscal responsibility.

Education and Cultural Renewal

Christian heritage education. Britain’s schools should teach Christianity as a core part of British history and moral development—not to enforce belief but to ensure cultural literacy. Pupils should learn the Bible’s historical impact on law, art, and social progress.

World religions as comparison. Other faiths, including Islam, should still be studied factually and respectfully, but Christianity should hold a central place in understanding Britain’s identity.

Practical life skills. Introduce compulsory financial education: budgeting, taxation, credit, saving, investment, and consumer awareness.

Critical and civic education. Emphasize civic duty, critical thinking, and national service opportunities to produce capable, informed citizens.

Healthcare and Public Health

Scandinavian-style reform. Retain universal access but decentralize provision. Private and public providers compete for patients under regulated, tax-funded reimbursement.

Nominal user fees. Small charges for visits or missed appointments discourage waste and no-shows while preserving accessibility.

Integrated services. Dentistry, mental health, and primary care unified under one health system.

Preventative care first. Expand diagnostics, routine scanning, and early detection programmes—especially for cancer and metabolic disease.

Routine blood tests and nutrient screening. Include micronutrient checks (vitamin D, B12, iron, etc.) as standard to tackle hidden deficiency-related health and mental-health issues.

National supplementation policy. Implement vitamin fortification (especially vitamin D) and public awareness campaigns, given Britain’s low sunlight exposure.

Family, Population, and Demographics

Pronatalist incentives. Families with two or more children receive strong tax breaks—potentially up to full income-tax relief—scaled by data to restore population balance.

Family-focused economic conditions. Stable housing, jobs, and welfare reform are key to enabling family formation and reversing declining birth rates.

Trade and Global Alignment

Anglosphere partnership. Foster a formal “Anglosphere” alliance with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (and potentially the U.S.): shared trade, research, defence, and educational cooperation among English-speaking democracies.

Trade and innovation. Mutual recognition of standards, freer movement for skilled labour, and shared research investment across member nations.
