Actions
Step 1
Ask candidates our 5 questions listed below
Background
To help you make your mind up, ask your candidates:
1. Will they defend and uphold free speech for all?
Where do they stand on “Non Crime Hate Incidents,” policing and online censorship?
2. Net Zero – are they opposed to it?
3. Will they oppose the War on the Motorist?
Will they get rid of LTNs and other High Street damaging measures? Will they stop Surveillance & Fines?
4. Do they support abolishing Inheritance Tax for all, and helping farmers ensure food security?
5. Where do they stand on the Assisted Suicide Bill?
Would they support a referendum on the issue?
Note: you may say ‘the candidate in question will not have direct control over all these things.’ That may be true, but the questions are about their principles, and commitment to influencing things the right – or wrong – way.
