... they have announced the following:

Substantial rise in income tax allowances for lowest paid from April 2011

New tax on financial transactions, clampdown on "unacceptable" bonuses

Investment to reduce class sizes for children from poorer backgrounds

Cut in number of MPs and equal size constituencies

Right of the public to "recall" corrupt MPs

Review of Scottish MPs voting on England-only legislation

No further powers ceded to EU without referendum

NHS spending to rise in real terms every year of the Parliament

Great Repeal Bill including abolition of ID cards

Restore the link between the state pension and earnings from April 2011

Benefits to be conditional on willingness to work

Tax break for married couples and civil partners

A 5% pay cut for ministers & a pay freeze for the duration of this parliament


Some of these announcements must really be pissing off some of you bitter losers on here :-)

At last we have a governement in touch with the people of its country.

Re: They've only been in for 5 mins and so far...

Sounds good to me, especially re organising constituencies so they are equal and reviewing Scottish MPs voting on English bills.

 

[blueinkwell]

That all sound much too sensible, somebody must be taking the piss.

 

[charliebigspuds]

sounds good, lets see if they actually see them through though

I like, especially that about Jocks voting on English policies, imo we should be able to vote in Welsh, Scottish and Irish elections if all of those are able to vote in ours.

Oh, I agree that it might be difficult to do so with all of their policies, I just think that these announcements just prove that those who still crow on about Labour being the party of the workers & the poor and that the Conservatives are the party for the rich are talking out of their arses :-)

I'm not a follower of any party, they're all conmen, but it's a little early to crow either way isn't it? It's all well and good saying what they'll do, but you don't want to make a bad impression on your first day.

It would be wise of everyone to wait a while and see what actually gets implemented before they go preening and chest thumping.

I agree with you! I just get pissed off with those types I mentioned above, especially the ones who use lies & half truths in their arguments.
