The Jury Team - An Independent Future

Politics needs a shakeup, we currently have politicians in power who believe it is their right to take whatever they want, recently we have been offered a refund by the politicians who stole money from us, they proudly tell us that they have refunded a massive £500,000, but in reality, as there are 646 MP’s that is only the meagre sum of £774 each (a drop in the ocean), this follows over 20 years of systematic abuse.

I believe that we need truely independent MP’s, people who are not a part of the existing system, to clean up politics and once again make politicians people of honour; this is not an easy path and I am sure it will be a long hard fight against entrenched MP’s who will want to retain they status, but it is a battle worth fighting.

The Jury Team and I hold certain core principles about the was this country should be governed, about accountability, about service and most of all about honesty in public life, how can we expect people to be honest when politicians are openly dishonest about so many things, politicians need to set the highest of standards, we should not have to accept that politicians are corrupt or dishonest.

It is about time that we set boundries for politicians and put an end to the political class that seeks to run this country only for the benefit of the political class, to this end I make the following proposals:-

1. End of the Party Whips
2. Transparent Pay for MPs and MEPs
3. An independent Politicians Complaints Commission
4. Capping donations to political parties
5. Elected Select Committees
6. European Legislation applied appropriately
7. Term limits for MPs and MEPs
8. General elections every five years
9. MPs to elect Prime Minister
10. Ministers appointed more sensibly
11. Government departments run by a Board
12. Independent publication of Government statistics
13. Referendums on eight key issues
14. Referendums as requested by 5% of the electorate

These are the guiding principles of the Jury Team, and this is what you can expect from every candidate, but the Jury Team are so much more than just these principles, we stand for good common sense Government; Government is not about political opportunities or soundbites, it is about the day to day business of running the country, this is why we want to bring in tried and tested business practices into Government.

There are so many things that are Great about our country, but this is being ruined by ill conceived policies cooked up in back rooms by a minority of politicians; this above all else must change, we are here to ensure that people are really represented. If you are concerned about immigration we won’t shy away from the subject, instead we will bring forward policies that balance your needs with those of the country, we won’t make knee jerk reactions to serious political and social problems, instead we will bring forward considered solutions and if required you will be able to ask us to hold a referendum so everyone gets their say.

Many people have said that Politics is a game, but this is not true, politics is a very serious subject that is degraded by the playing of political games by people who’s only ambition is to remain in politics instead of having to get a real job.

It is career politicians who have brought this country to its knees and it will be Independent people who being real reform to our political system, and make this country great once more.

I need your help!

To fight a successful campaign against well organised political parties takes resources.  Just standing as a candidate in a General Election requires a £500 deposit, in addition leaflets and printing all cost money.

If you believe that we need a change,  and you want to help then please, make a donation using the button below, any amount, no matter how small will help, but please remember that under my own rules on political donations, I will only accept donations over £49 from UK residents who are on the electoral register, and donations over £5,000 will be reported to the Electoral Commission who will publish your name and the size of your donation.
