There can be no more important issue than who governs us. Britain today is ruled by a cabal of foreign committees headquartered in Brussels most have never even heard of, let alone voted into power. Britain is now being ruled by people we cannot sack. At best, Westminster is window-dressing and a rubber-stamp for laws that are not even drawn on our soil. The European Union has proved capable of writing tens of thousands of unnecessary diktats on every subject, while wasting 10% of its taxpayers' budget every year on fraud and corruption. Most Britons are unaware that the EU accounts have not been signed off for over a decade due to 'gross irregularities'. If you ran your business that way, you'd go to prison. But the EU has provided blanket immunity from prosecution for its governing echelon. Does such an arrangement bode well for the future? Of course not. Did you get a say in any of this? No. You were promised a referendum on this vital issue of EU involvement by Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown predictably reneged on it.
Under MajoritySay, if 70% or more of the voting public chooses for Britain to leave the EU to regain her independence, that's what will happen. Upon voting to leave the EU, VAT can be abolished and a free trade agreement signed with the other nations of the EU (Britain is the EU's biggest customer). Thousands of EU directives unnecessarily restricting British trade can then be scrapped, in addition to the British saving ££billions on our 'membership' of this corrupt club. The right to free trade has, and always will be the lifeblood of a free people.
Britain is growing increasingly lawless. Murder and knife crime is rife and the law seems to favour the rights of the criminal over the victim. Chiefly to blame was the signing of the EU's European Convention on Human Rights, which saw the UK's Human Rights Act brought into law in 1998. The cost to our society from this piece of legislation in crime alone has been catastrophic.
If 70% or more vote for the abolition of The Human Rights Act, that's what will happen. If 70% or more vote for more police on the streets, an end to politically-correct interference into our privacy, and democratically elected police chiefs and judges, under MajoritySay that's what will happen. If 70% or more vote for a fair but uncompromising justice system of 'tough love' to restrain and punish illegal behaviour, that's what will happen. In each case, MajoritySay takes the policy decision away from politicians and entrusts it to the people where it belongs.
Speed cameras have become a bane to the road-user. Most Britons like to drive safely and so initially welcomed them. What started out as a laudable scheme to reduce deaths at Black Spot locations, however, soon morphed into today's government penchant for cold cash and punishment. Millions of pounds are siphoned out of the public's pocket in the name of safety, even though independent studies repeatedly show speed cameras do not reduce deaths overall and can actually cause accidents by themselves.
If 70% or more vote to abolish speed cameras except at Black Spot locations, under MajoritySay that's what will happen.
Who has not been disgusted with the unprofessional, cavalier attitude of the finance sector, leading to one of the most catastrophic collapses of pecuniary faith in modern times? Creating money out of nothing (fractional reserve banking), inappropriate investments (with taxpayers’ money), useless endowments, citizens being smothered with credit they cannot afford to repay, are just some of the ways unscrupulous bankers and conmen make their shareholders rich on illusion and receive their obscene seven-figure bonuses.
Under MajoritySay, a Financial Code of Conduct can be drawn up covering the obvious areas of abuse. The City does work better with minimal interference but a truly independent Citizens Oversight Committee is clearly required to police even the financial watchdogs, who proved so inept in averting the 2008 disaster. Who’s paying for that calamity? Correct. You are. Have you been offered a say in how things will be run for the future? Of course not.
