  1. The simple fact is renewable energy became the cheapest source of energy on the grid back in 2019 The government are currently giving billions in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry for cleanup of legacy installations and exploration of new Any Government proposing a Green agenda will not only win but will reduce energy costs across the board within a very short time in office. It takes 1-2 years to build a wind farm it takes 7/8 to build a nuclear reactor and 1-4 to build a tidal system.

  2.  @Horizon344  let's reword it shall we to what it really means Should we become like North Korea and close our borders completely no one in on one out. You can't allow people to emigrate if you don't allow immigration last year 500,000 people left the UK to live elsewhere permanently. We should then force al 18+ year old women to start having children if they disagree send them to camps and have them reprogrammed because the birth rate is way too low at 1.6 without immigration to supplement the workforce the economy will implode. Now the final piece our elderly are living to long and are no longer useful to the state raise the state pension age to the point where only paying 2% in gdp on pensions

  3. What do you mean by low taxes? If you vote for a Right wing Party they will implement Trickle Down supply Side Economics If you look at the start of this process with Cameron and Osborne the 1st thing they did was increase VAT unless you are Rich sales taxes have a disproportionate impact on the total level of taxation you pay on your income and assets. Go look up the charts. The cheapest method of funding healthcare by a country mile is through taxation a flat tax or Insurance policy goes into the same bucket as sales taxes again it hits disproportionately middle and lower incomes. Basically if you reduce the size of the state unless your a millionaire + you will pay more tax as a total of your income + assets through regressive taxation. Small sate deregulation exaggerates this effect by removing workers rights and bargaining power as well as using external supply side labour pool to put downward pressure on the labour market. Fire and Rehire + zero hour are legal whatever the government claim
