THE ROLE AND OBJECTIVES OF GOVERNMENT IN BRITAIN TODAY

THE ROLE and OBJECTIVES of GOVERNMENT in the BRITAIN
OF TODAY

Sometimes I wonder if the Political Parties in the United Kingdom have forgotten what Their Role is in Society and what their Objectives should be if they are in Government.
I am just one ordinary citizen and this is my personal view. Perhaps others would agree with me ?

Government needs to -

Maintain a civilised and peaceful Society and to protect all Citizens from harm, violence and attack from terrorism and foreign aggression.

To work tirelessly for Peace throughout the World without trying to thrust Democracy and Capitalism onto regimes who think otherwise.
Millions have lost their lives trying to do this. Peaceful Co- existence must be the key objective of Foreign Policy.

To maintain freedom of speech for everyone including the Press and Media.

To improve the lifestyle of all its citizens.

To provide free education for all its citizens.

To spend Public Money within sensible Budgets with the minimum of external borrowings - keep the deficit below £35 Billion per annum in the period 2020 - 2030.

To encourage a high level of Employment with incentives to Business to expand in the Domestic Market and Overseas Markets.

To provide homes for all families at affordable rates as a National Priority. Britain did this with pre- fabs and other schemes after World War 2.

To provide Healthcare free at the point of need.

To provide State Healthcare for all elderly and infirm people except for people with assets of £ 3 Millions at 2015 prices.

To reduce the size of the House of Lords and make it an elected second Chamber. Reduce the size of The House of Commons.

These should be the main Objectives. However, how can all these Objectives be achieved ?

It needs a major change of Attitudes. Here are some of the remedies that are needed.

Introduce a new Future State Pension Scheme which will need increased contributions during working life. Allow for inflation in Pension Projections. The present scheme is grossly underfunded and inadequate. It needs a major overhaul.

Set up a National Building Consortium to build affordable homes throughout the Country. Change taxation Policy for
Builders in this Consortium so that costs of building are drastically reduced. A Value Analysis is needed.

Use Quantitative Easing to fund shortfall in Healthcare Budgets and Care for the Elderly. If it worked for Banks then it should work for Healthcare.

Only participate in external conflicts as part of a United Nations
Coalition and funded by a General Assembly Budget.

Delay Projects such as HS2 and give priority to affordable housing.
Spend £100 Billions on this National Building Priority. Provide safeguards to prevent investor speculator gambling and fraud.

Be prepared to convert certain uneconomic farmland into
Eco Villages with affordable housing and landscaping.

Change attitudes to timescales and cannot be done Attitudes for example -  Objectives to be achieved in 5 years and 10 years spans.

Make the period 2016 - 2026 a Golden Era for BRITAIN.

Only a radical new approach to New Attitudes and Actions will be sufficient to change the gridlock Policies of Today.
The present pathway will ensure  that the problems In Britain Today WILL remain the problems In Britain Tomorrow !
