a sane society
(under development comments encouraged)

to help create manifesto suitable for progressive country
Everyone
needs food and shelter, as laid down by UN charter of Human Rights
Overview
These
policies outlined below aim to be fair
to all giving incentive to the ambitious and support to the unfortunate and
fulfilling its obligations under the United Nations dclaration
of Human rights.
If these ideas are adopted by a significant number of societies, countries, we
believe that it would lead to a more harmonious world which can benefit from
the great things this planet has to offer. This end needs people, especially
politicians, to have an altruistic attitude, a belief in our children and faith
in the goodness of man.
Main
priorities
1. Have a referendum to join the
European Economic Area.
2. To introduce a minimum income,
(see A, E, G and H below)
3. To tackle the housing crisis
(see I, J, K and Q)
4. To challenge inequality, (see
A,
5. Devolve power to the local
area, (see D,
6. Immigration (see N)
A.
Minimum income for all, then
taxed from the first penny earned. more...
All
adults should receive a Minimum income. All children over 3 will also receive
percentage of the amount.
Due
to increasing use of Artificial intelligence within companies and by
governments the need to give everyone a basic income is essential without the bureaucracy
of means testing.
People
with lifetime disabilities will have an increased minimum income depending on
their disability.
People
with temporary disabilities, for a defined period of time, will temporally
receive an increased minimum income.
This should only be available
to the permanent residents of the society.
This measure will enhance
article 4 of the United Nations declaration of Human rights.
B. Minimum
wage more...
The minimum
wage should be set at a level equal to the minimum income for a 30 hour week.
C.
Ownership “What should be in
the State Sector” more...
There
is an increasing use of artificial intelligence to make decisions as against
people making them. These “people” should be under the control of society to
the benefit of all not just the few who own the system. All monopolies should
be under state control so all profits go to society not to individuals. The way
the internet has developed has led to “International Monopolies” these should
be under the control of the states where they operate and taxed as such. (All
sales generated in a country should be subject to the sales tax of that
country, including P&P)
D.
Autonomy more...
Power should
be devolved to most locally elected appropriate authority. i.e. Any residential planning should be in the hands of most elected
local authority. Any individual or legal identity can appeal to the next level
of government authority whose judgement will be final. Any industrial planning
to be brought forward by any level of government and put to open debate if
proved to be controversial.
E.
Family/personal Tax Units.
more...
Every
family will be treated as a Tax unit and all transfers of money etc. between
family members will not incur any
taxation.
An
age limit will be set so when the child reaches, say 25, or on marriage,
thereby they will form a new Family Tax Unit, they will then leave their
previous Family Tax Unit.
Exceptions
being made for seriously disabled relatives. This gives the chance for parents to give their children “their
inheritance” when they will need it most as opposed to at their point of death.
There will also be a minimum sum that can be given in presents etc. after they
leave the tax unit. All transactions between tax units will be taxed at the prevailing
rate as decided by the highest authority. A family tax unit can be only one
person and can be setup by anyone over 18 years of age.
F.
Social Care more...
All
residential homes/hospitals will be assumed to be exempt from the Residential
Tax see I and L. Care institutions will receive the basic income of the
“patient” with any added enhancements, that are applicable see A above.
G.
Business Tax units more...
A
company must register as a Business Tax unit which allows all transactions
within its business to be tax free. Any payments to outside tax units including
employees as who will also be registered, see above. They will be subject to
the standard tax at the rate as decided by the authorities. A family tax unit
can also perform as such if they don’t have employees outside their Tax Unit.
H. Tax,
Government’s income. more...
There will be a two main
taxes, Tax on transactions set at a standard percentage(s) between tax units
see above Tax on assets within Tax Units. This allows people and businesses to
be on a common footing thereby reducing the opportunity for loopholes in the
tax system that can be exploited. The exception to the rule set out by the
highest authority, would be for goods deemed to be essential i.e. food given a
lower rate and goods which are detrimental a higher rate. License system for
all domestic animals as they do nothing for bio diversity and contribute to
global warming.
I.
Local Authority income. more...
This should
be a proportion of the total tax collected by the society based on the
population of the area represented by the appropriate authority. Every adult
should be allocated a certain amount which should be divided, as a percentage,
between the all the authorities above them. These percentages should be decided
the highest authority in the society. Collection of property/wealth tax.
J.
Property tax on residential
property, X square foot FREE per adult, more than X, Y per square meter, Y increasing
as the as the square footage changes. more...
This allows the poor who in
need property to have reduced costs while also penalising the ones who have
more resources and then they pay for the privilege. Overall this will encourage
the optimum use of housing.
Second
properties and foreign owners should pay the maximum per square meter.
K.
Housing more...
Local
government housing must be available to those in need.
Every
property should be given rent value say £50 a week. If the residents earn over
an amount (say £12 000 a year) the rent should increase by a sum, say £5 a
week. The extra money should be saved by the local government towards a deposit
for the renter to put towards a deposit on a future house of their own thereby
putting the public housing available to others. Thereby if a renter starts earning a good income they are encouraged to
buy their own property. Then the property is available to another renter. Any money
accrued by the recipient upon their death will be included in their will.
L.
Business Building more...
Every
infrastructure requirement will be subject to planning by the appropriate
government authority. Individual businesses should be granted by the local
authority. Sometimes a project is in the interest of the greater society as a
whole thereby the final decision after proper respected consultation will
eventually be taken by the appropriate authority.
M.
Child benefit removed. more...
Most
adults want children to carry on their line but society needs less for the
greater good of the planet’s population.
N.
Immigration “Open the doors!” more...
Open
the boarders to whoever wants to enter, they should be able to come and work BUT not entitled to the minimum income,
see A above, until after they have
contributed for a number of years. Genuine Asylum seekers should be offered the
minimum income see above. This encourages integration of peoples throughout the
world. To fully comply with the 1951
refugee convention.
We
will set up immigration centres in our embassies to vet potential refugees into
the UK. (automatically accepting people that fulfil the definition of refugee
under the convention). When they reach the UK they will be given temporary
residency which will allow them to work, but not be entitled to the minimum
income see A.
If
it is not possible to set up an immigration centre in the country of the
potential refugee, centres will be set up at the nearest possible spot.
This is a small effort towards
world peace and understanding.
O.
Education more...
The head of the
school should be given free rein to run their school, to counter balance this
parents and teachers should have access to
a phone line and a complaints book anonymously, if requested to report any
shortcomings to the local authority, if the complaints reach a critical level
the local authority should investigate the matter and bring the two parties
together and hopefully resolve the issues without referring the issue to the
courts, see below. All should be
cover a) learning a trade/hobby something of interest to the child i.e. sport,
acting or craftwork etc.. b) a objective/questioning mind, c) spiritual and
psychological support as well as literacy, mathematics etc. The
assumption that teachers know best should be a given. The objective must be
giving those being educated confidence and a questioning mind. All forms of
propaganda must be avoided including religious practice of all sorts.
P.
University more...
University
should be available to all based on ability alone to encourage excellence, no
cost should be involved as potentially this will benefit the society and if
they earn more this should be reflected in the tax system see above. Also it
would keep the best talent in the society they were educated instead of going
elsewhere therefore not paying the charges for their education. Many people are brilliant at mending
machines or programming computers where they can learn the skills on the job.
Q.
Housing more...
Everyone
needs a secure home. If housing needs to be built the decision should be made
by the most locally elected authority within the principal but we need homes
not houses. Updating/renovating houses must take priority over just building
more houses. Every individual needs a
home, and that should be his castle not the landlord’s income! See also K&L
above
R.
Drugs more...
All
drugs should be legalised and controlled. All drugs should be purchased through
chemists where proof of identity must be taken and recorded by society. If people
are found in possession of drugs not via a chemist should be taken to court.
The definition of what is a drug needs to be defined as something the
individual decides she/he feels is controlling him/her more than them being in
control. This hopefully this will
decrease the drug related crime.
S.
Law and Order more...
Detention
in prison should never be used! If a person is found by a court of law guilty
of a horrendous crime it should be assumed he/she has
a mental problem and treatment should be ordered and the person put in a secure
institution until they are deemed not to be a threat to society. If person
commits theft or other minor offence they should be assessed and if required a
secure “small home environment say 20 inmates” with a warden in the local area
of the person convicted. The person
should have restricted access to the outside world. i.e. if it was decided by the that drugs or alcohol were instrumental
in the crime they are not allowed to do these activities. If they do curfews
should be enforced. If bad behaviour continues eventually outside access will
not be allowed at all.
All fines should be based on
the declared wealth (see Declared Wealth) of the
guilty.
Education
should be offered at local establishments and if they were employed at the time
of conviction their continued employment should be encouraged.
T.
Complaints about Government
bodies more...
An
independent panel, made up of the judiciary, with a secretariat, if the
complaints reach a critical level the body should be brought to court and the
authority ordered to justify their actions.
This will be via a manned phone line.
U.
Accountability more...
All
professionals and businesses should be given autonomy, with a complaints
system. Thereby the state only checks up on the business/professional when
complaints reach a trigger level through a phone line, email or any other as
above.
V.
Charities more...
They
should have no special tax advantages. Elected representatives should be given
a sum of money to distribute to good causes in their areas. These donations
will be made public so their voters will know their priorities. The amount
should vary depending on the level of the government authority they represent,
and decided on by the highest level of Government
W. Farming
more...
Farmers/landowners
should not be subsidised. This has over the years has over inflated the value
of land and allowed many landowners vast amounts of money while not doing very
much. Food produced could be "subsidised" this could be organised by
the state deciding what is required/needed at least a couple of years in
advance. Through a buffer stock system. (Say the government wanted a 100tons of
wheat on a rotating two year cycle a) Farmers if they wish could
grow any crops they want to and sell them on the open market.
X.
Communication more...
All
communication networks should be provided by the state free of charge with a
charter stating that nothing will be recorded by the state without court
action. Freedom of speech should be encouraged, within platforms that broadcast
the view of the individual to others that have an opposing view.
Y.
Environmental more...
Road
pricing, all vehicles registered will have a credit/debit card allocated
against the registered owner
Z.
Electoral system more...
Two
elected chambers see Manifesto here.
AA. Health
more...
Many
of the above policies.
BB.Transport more...
Many
of the above policies.
Conclusion
In
a changing world, all societies should embrace each other and not go into
little enclaves with possibilities of conflict. Where this has happened
throughout the world in the past where kings and presidents told their peoples
their enemy’s country is evil, while we are sure most of the permanent
residents of the enemy’s country are much like you and me and not like the
rulers. Every child needs an equal
opportunity to get to be the president or king of their man made defined
physical area. Throughout history we have created bigger and bigger societies
elating a fewer and fewer individuals to positions of
power. This has the advantage of bringing peoples together but education is
paramount. History tells us that cooperation is more beneficial then conflict,
honesty is better than deception which leads to misunderstanding. Knowledge is
power for the greedy who want to keep secrets so they can exploit the
uneducated. The greatest judge is publicity so why hide it!
The
object of this manifesto is to try and make sure the everyone is protected
while protecting the environment.

Minimum
income for all, then taxed from the first penny earned.
This is a very
important measure to give every resident the freedom not to be a slave,
allowing every resident a financially secure life. The amount should be set at
a level which gives enough for the resident to keep body and soul together
without any luxuries. (A position the rich have always had, the freedom to turn
down a job without being left destitute)
This will allow
“dirty jobs” to command a market forces defined income, a fair wage.
Due to increasing use of
“artificial intelligence” within companies and by governments the need to give everyone
a basic income is essential without the bureaucracy of a means testing.
This will
automatically be paid to all residents over 3 years old. (the rational being
that population growth is potentially a source of over use of the world’s
resources)
This benefit
will be paid in at the standard rate to everyone over 18. Those 3 to 11 will be
paid at 30% while those between 12 and 17 will be paid 50%.
There would be
certain residents which will have this increased
a) Those with permanent disabilities as defined by a
medical panel up to a maximum of twice the standard rate
b) Those with temporary disabilities as defined by a
medical panel up to a maximum of 50% more than the standard rate with limited
time period when a new assessment will be required.
This
will help people attain their true level of accomplishment a position which had
only been available to the rich in the past.
There
are many examples of rich people that are remembered because they had the
luxury to indulge in their passions without the worry of “keeping the body and
soul” together. i.e. Many politicians, Wordsworth, an English romantic poet for
example.
Some
accomplished their passion through fate like Wilfred Owen who was paid through
government payments due to him while conscripted to fight in WW1.
To
pay for this the money will be raised through the income tax system, where the
point where someone earns the mean income will take home the same amount of
money as they do in the existing system.
Minimum wage
The
minimum wage should be set at a level equal to the minimum income for a 60hour
week.
This
gives incentives to the economic migrants to have an income while they build up
credits towards permanent residency, after 3 years of contribution and their
entitlement to a minimum income see A.
Ownership “What should be in the
State Sector”
There
is an increasing use of artificial intelligence to make decisions as against
people making them. These “people” should be under the control of society to
the benefit of all not just the few who own the system. All monopolies and
utilities should be under state control so all profits go to society not to
individuals, this should be a general rule. Many industries only contribute a
maintenance role and produce nothing i.e. internet and green energy suppliers
for example. These industries should be looked at on an individual basis. And
local governments should be encouraged to sponsor/own local energy generation
projects.
This
should never be used to a detrimental effect of under mining innovation or experimentation.
This can be accomplished by the state investing in engineers and scientists
with the remit to find more efficient ways of doing things with no blue sky
thinking. Holding brain storming situation including cabinet minister(s)
The
hospitality sector and where there is a thriving competitive market should
never be in the state sector.
Autonomy
Power
should be devolved to the most locally elected appropriate authority. i.e. Any residential planning should be in
the hands of lowest elected local authority. Any individual or legal identity
can appeal to the next level of government authority whose judgement will be
final. There should be a police force under each elected authority and
responsible to that authority.
Family/personal Tax Units.
Every
family will treated as a Tax unit and all transfers of
money etc. between family members will not
incur any taxation.
An
age limit will be set so when the child reaches, say 25, or on marriage,
thereby they will form a new Family Tax Unit, they will then leave their
previous Family Tax Unit.
Exceptions
being made for seriously disabled relatives. This gives the chance for parents to give their children “their
inheritance” when they will need it most as opposed to at their point of death.
There will also be a minimum sum that can be given in presents etc. after they
leave the tax unit. All transactions between tax units will be taxed at the
prevailing rate as decided by the highest authority. A family tax unit can be
only one person and can be setup by anyone over 18 years of age.
No
one can join an existing Tax Unit except through adoption or marriage. There
can only be one marriage in a tax personal tax unit.
Social Care
All
residential homes/hospitals will be assumed to be exempt from the Residential
Taxes see I and L. Care establishments will receive the
minimum income of the “patient” with any added enhancements, that are
applicable see minimum income A here.
A
company must register as a Business Tax unit which allows all transactions
within its business to be tax free. Any payments to outside tax units including
to employees, see E above, will be subject to the standard tax at the rate as
decided by the authorities. See H. A
family tax unit can also perform as such if they don’t have employees outside
their Tax Unit. Business Tax Units can be, privately owned, shareholder owned,
(dividends taxed as it leaves the unit, if recipient is a Tax Unit no extra tax
will be incurred) or publically owned by any elected body.
Tax, Government’s Income
a. Income/transaction tax
(between Business Tax Units and Residential Tax Unit) will be defined as a
percentage, the base rate by the Nation State, this is added to by district down
to the lowest government body. The
government then the area, then the town. This will be levied on all
transactions between Business Tax Units and Personal/Family Tax Units. i.e. the nation say
30%, 5% by County Council, 2% by District Council and .5% by Town/Village
Council giving a total 35.5% on each transaction. A higher level for high
earners in the same proportions. (say 10% higher thereby (33% to Nation, 5.5%
to county, 2.2 to District Council and .55% to local village/town.) This will
also replace VAT. The tax will be on the first penny earned.
b. Capital Gains Tax will be set
the same as the Nations Contribution as laid out above minus inflation.
c. Wealth Taxes set on all assets
under the control of any residential tax unit. 1. on the amount of land above a
minimum say £10 a year per acre on all land above 1 acre. (collected by local
authority) 2. Liquid assets say 1% of assets over £20 000 (except for funds
saved towards first property) collected by local authority. 3. Excess
accommodation tax see “J”
d. Energy Tax, ring fenced for
investment in public transport.
e. Inheritance Tax at the point
of death will be abolished but people remaining in the tax unit will inherit
without tax. If no one is left in the Tax Unit the
assets will be added to the recipients income see above.
f.
Animal
tax, domestic animals need to taxed for their welfare and they do nothing for
either global warming or biodiversity. It is understood pets give emotional to
many so this tax should be set at an affordable level by people living on the
basic income.
g. Removal of tax advantages to
charities, and giving elected representatives amount to give to local good
causes in their areas which are publicised on the government websites.
h.
Property tax on residential
property, X square foot FREE per adult, more than X, Y per square meter, Y
increasing as the as the square footage changes. This
allows the poor who in need property to have reduced costs while also
penalising the ones who have more resources and then they pay for the
privilege. Overall this will encourage the optimum use of housing. Second properties and foreign
owners should pay the maximum per square meter. SEE J below
This should be a proportion of
the total tax collected by the society based on the population of the area
represented by the appropriate authority. Every resident should be allocated a
certain amount which should be divided, as a percentage, between the all the
authorities above them. These percentages should be decided the highest
authority in the society.
They will collect income from
the Animal Tax, all animals add to global warming by breathing out carbon
dioxide and all mammals produce a certain amount of methane. These rates should
be set animal by animal by the regional government.
Property Tax
Property tax on residential
property, X square foot FREE per adult, more than X, Y per square meter, Y
increasing as the as the square footage changes.
There
should be a lower square footage for young people over 3.
This allows the poor who in
need property to have reduced costs while also penalising the ones who have
more resources and then they pay for the privilege. Overall this will encourage
the optimum use of housing. Second
properties and foreign owned property to pay the maximum per square meter.
These allowances will only be available to residents.
All second homes and foreign
owned houses will be charged at the highest rate
K
Housing
Council
Housing
Local
government housing must be available all those in need. Controlled by the
lowest level of government.
The central government should provide portable good quality homes, at the minimum size as required see below. Every council owned property should be given rentable value say £50 a week. If the residents earn over an amount (say £12 000 a year) the rent should increase by a sum, say £5 a week. The extra money should be saved by the local government towards a deposit (interest free) for the renter to put towards a deposit on a future house of their own thereby putting the public housing available to others. Thereby if a renter starts earning a good income they are encouraged to buy their own property. Then the property is available to another renter. Any money accrued by the recipient upon their death will be included in their will. The interest on such monies will be accrued by the local authority.
1.
Introduce a replacement for council tax, based on the square footage of
residential property/properties of an owner. See here...
2.
Introduce a law making the use of residential property being used for short
term lets of less than a year illegal. An exception for people who wish to
share their main residence after
registration with local authorities. Income from this source will be taxed as
part of the household income.
3.
Local authorities will be enabled build minimum sized accommodation see here.
For different sized households. This property will then be let out at a minimal
rent set at a max of 25% of the basic income.
If
the household income rises above a certain amount. The rent will also rise. The
rise in the rent will be saved by the authority on behalf of the tenant which
is returned to the tenant towards a deposit of a home of their own.
Minimum
housing units could be built in factories to a defined minimum size per person
Everyone needs a secure home.
If housing needs to be built the decision should be made by the most locally
elected authority within the principal but “we need homes not houses”.
Updating/renovating houses must take priority over just building more houses. Every individual needs a home, and that
should be his castle not the landlord’s income!
Business Building
Every
infrastructure requirement will be subject to planning by the appropriate
government authority. Individual businesses should be granted by the local
authority. Sometimes a project is in the interest of the greater society as a
whole thereby the final decision after proper respected consultation will
eventually be taken by the appropriate authority.
Child Benefit removed
Most
adults want children to carry on their line but society needs less for the
greater good for the world’s population, they will be entitled to the Minimum
income (A)once they reach the age of 3, which contributes to
the income for the Personal/Family tax unit(E)
Immigration “Open the doors!”
Open
the boarders to whoever wants to enter, they should be able to come and work BUT not entitled to the minimum income,
see A above, until after they have
contributed for a number of years. Genuine Asylum seekers should be offered the
minimum income see above. This encourages integration of peoples throughout the
world. To fully comply with the 1951
refugee convention.
We
will set up immigration centres in our embassies to vet potential refugees into
the UK. (automatically accepting people that fulfil the definition of refugee
under the convention). When they reach the UK they will be given temporary
residency which will allow them to work, but not be entitled to the minimum
income see A. after they have been in the UK they will be entitled to the
minimum income and be given full residency.
If
it is not possible to set up an immigration centre in the country of the
potential refugee, centres will be set up at the nearest possible spot.
This is a small effort towards
world peace and understanding.
Education
The
head of the school should be given free rein to run their school, to counter
balance this parents and teachers should have access to a phone line and a complaints book anonymously, if requested to
report any shortcomings to the local authority, if the complaints reach a
critical level the local authority should investigate the matter and bring the
two parties together and hopefully resolve the issues without referring the
issue to the courts, see below. All
should be cover a) learning a trade/hobby something of interest to the child
i.e. sport, acting or craftwork etc. b) an objective/questioning mind, c)
spiritual and psychological support as well as literacy, mathematics etc. The
assumption that teachers know best should be a given. The objective must be giving
those being educated confidence and a questioning mind. All forms of propaganda
must be avoided including religious practice of all sorts.
What is Education?
In
today’s world many things have changed the education has not evolved to the
same extent. The accumulation of knowledge is not as important as it was as
“The Facts” are often just a click away.
The
concentration should be on the following-
A. The skills and/or support
required to reach their full potential from the student’s point of view.
B. The understanding of rhetoric
and how it can be used to manipulate opinion.
C. The skill to analyse
situations separating opinion from fact.
D. Life skills including how the
government works, the law and personal finances.
E. The appreciation of the arts.
F. To encourage a questioning
mind.
G. An understanding that all
human beings are equal and deserve understanding and love.
H. An understanding of the
Manifesto of the society in which they live and other societies in the world.
I.
An
understanding of the judicial processes of the society.
J.
The
importance of the quest to seek the truth.
The
role of the State
To
provide lifelong education based on the opinions outlined above.
Nursery
school phase, (where social skills and cooperation are the main basis, learning
together where asking questions etc is encouraged
The
Primary phase Reading, and writing simple maths,
The
Junior phase access knowledge, how to assess and evaluate information
The
lower senior phase,
The
higher senior phase, speciality phase in a limited number of subject
The
university/for the pursuit of knowledge.
Special
colleges to teach specific skills, from plumbing to medicine.
The
responsibility of parents and the rest.
Further Education
University
should be available to all based on ability alone to encourage excellence, no
cost should be involved as potentially this will benefit the society and if
they earn more this should be reflected in the tax system see above. Also it
would keep the best talent in the society they were educated instead of going
elsewhere therefore not paying the charges for their education. Many people are brilliant at mending
machines or programming computers where they can learn the skills on the job
and this should be encouraged.
Apprentices should be
encouraged by both private and public industries.
Drugs
All
drugs should be legalised and controlled. All drugs should be purchased through
chemists where proof of identity must be taken and recorded by society. If
people are found in possession of drugs not via a chemist should be taken to
court see S. The definition of what is a drug needs to be
defined as something the individual decides she/he feels is controlling him/her
more than them being in control. This
hopefully this will decrease the drug related crime.
Law and Order
Detention
in prison should never be used! If a person is found by a court of law guilty of
a horrendous crime it should be assumed he/she has a
mental problem and treatment should be ordered and the person put in a secure
institution until they are deemed not to be a threat to society. If a person
commits theft or other minor offence they should be assessed and if required a
secure “small home environment say 20 inmates” with a warden in the local area
of the person convicted. The person
should have restricted access to the outside world. i.e. if it was decided by the that drugs or alcohol were instrumental
in the crime they are not allowed to do these activities. If they do curfews
should be enforced. If bad behaviour continues eventually outside access will
not be allowed at all.
All fines should be based on
the declared income of the guilty.
Education
should be offered at local establishments and if they were employed at the time
of conviction their continued employment should be encouraged.
Complaints about Government
bodies
An
independent panel, made up of the judiciary, with a secretariat, if the
complaints reach a critical level the body should be brought to court and the
authority ordered to justify their actions.
This will be via a manned phone line.
Accountability
All
professionals and businesses should be given autonomy, with a complaints
system. Thereby the state only checks up on the business/professional when
complaints reach a trigger level through a phone line, email or any other as
above.
Charities
They
should have no special tax advantages. Elected representatives should be given
a sum of money to distribute to good causes in their areas. These donations
will be made public so their voters will know their priorities. The amount
should vary depending on the level of the government authority they represent,
and decided by the highest level of government, see Z .
Farming
Farmers/landowners
should not be subsidised. This has over the years has over inflated the value
of land and allowed many landowners vast amounts of money while not doing very
much. Food produced could be "subsidised" this could be organised by
the state deciding what is required/needed at least a couple of years in
advance. Through a buffer stock system. (Say the government wanted a 100 tons
of wheat on a rotating two year cycle)
Farmers
if they wish could grow any crops they wish to and sell them on the open
market.
This
works by a body deciding on a guaranteed price for certain crops, and if
appropriate the sell price. This should include plants like trees and habitat
enhancements as well as food crop.
All
subsidies will be paid on production of the goods. In the case of crops that
take more than a year an interest free loan will be made. There will also be
grants awarded for habitat improvement where no crops are
Communication
All
communication networks should be provided by the state free of charge with a
charter stating that nothing will be recorded by the state. Freedom of speech
should be encouraged, within platforms that broadcast the view of the
individual to others that have an opposing view.

the integration of all power grids worldwide therefore cutting back on battery requirements.
