The former UKIP MP has a pretty excellent plan fully drawn up, with specific concrete policy proposals, most of which I think any real right wing party would implement.

Very good read. It’s very detailed and specific and to be honest I was lost in some parts because I don’t have the specialist knowledge that he has.
The last section on kicking out people who say they want to replace governance with Sharia law is a bit dodgy though. I get where he’s coming from but free speech is paramount, and that includes people suggesting alternative governance systems.
Agree wholeheartedly with this analysis. The Blairite state must be dismantled.

For me Douglas’s report is a masterpiece. It is well thought out with a specific plan from Day 1 for any government that is serious about reforming our country. This is exactly what GB PAC should be about.

tolerating intolerance is not a virtue.
I think that we have far too many luxury beliefs created when the country was a strong and high trust society, we just cannot continue with them.
We need to return to that but to do so would see the end of some practices including granting english rights to foreigners.

Some of this I agree with, some of it I have a problem with.
“The Department of the Prime Minister” I feel is too close to presidential government. Instead of working to undo the power creep of the PM over the past 50 years, this encourages and endorses it.
The “Meritocracy Act” I feel solves some of the problems but not everything. It maintains a stranglehold on businesses’ hiring practices and maintains a situation where companies have to do a lot of work to prove that they did not discriminate. I get why you would want to do this though. There is a risk that if we just scrap the Equality Act, all of the companies go even further and become explicitly anti-white.
The “Planning Deregulation Act” I almost entirely object to. I don’t think we need to abolish the greenbelt and think that it is important that people have quick and easy access to the British countryside.
“Abolition of All Trade Tariffs” would have some serious negative effects. From my understanding, there is serious debate as to whether free trade is long-term good for the economy. Whilst it has short-term benefits, it leads to the off-shoring of jobs and the out-flow of wealth from a nation.
“Income Tax Reform” doesn’t go far enough IMO. I think that we need to merge income tax and National insurance together and simplify it.
Yes it’s not perfect, he perhaps goes a bit far on some of the libertarian stuff for most conservatives/right wingers.
I think as far as planning reform we’d be better off moving to a permitted development model (clear rules people need to follow, but if they do so they’d be guaranteed to be able to build)
