Jolly good, I've had this interview saved for a while. :)
Came across very well. Only downside is there wasn't much of a chance to elaborate on the radicalism of health and education policy and of course economic policy. Abolishing income tax won't be done through cutting waste alone, it would probably involve privatisation of public services and other radical libertarian measures. You should be bold and admit this.
The first order of business is repealing the 1972 European communities act. That alone will save us billions of pounds from which we can make those savings.
The EU is a black hole for our money.
Well said, Henry.
Not bad, he came across alright...
I think maybe just a tad too much hate for new labour, but apart from that it was ok.
I personally think that it is pointless to start arguing about policy because one candidate is not going to change the agenda.... But we should be talking about why a Libertarian will be the best representative of the people in parliament.
Talk about what a libertarian voting record would look like...
How libertarians support private charity and would support local charities...
Etc.
I just think talking about things like income tax scrappage is counter productive because people will just think "here we go, another fringe party"....
Instead say "a libertarian would never vote for an unballanced budget or to raise taxes whenever possible"
it's just a more realistic approach in my opinion.
Big article in today's Telegraph about Norwich North and the various candidates, the leaders among which seem to be young. But no mention of the youngest of the lot. Bloody disgrace. I have a good mind to write to the editor.
