New Politics
Jason Sugarman’s number one priority as your MP would be to get real results for our area. After more than 10 years of Norman Baker’s old politics we need an MP who can get results. Don’t let Baker let us down again
From Norman Baker’s old politics |
To Jason Sugarman’s new politics |
|
From letting our Post Offices shut down… Baker helped Labour stop Conservative efforts in Parliament to give Post Offices the freedom they need to survive |
…to giving Post Offices a future Jason wants more freedom for Post Offices so they can be more profitable and stay open |
|
From extra death taxes… Baker wants inheritance tax rules changed so gifts given to children by their parents before death are taxed |
…to lifting families from the inheritance tax trap A Conservative government will raise the inheritance tax threshold to £1m, so nine million families will no longer face this tax |
|
From tax raids on our pensions… Baker wants increases in pension taxes despite the damage caused by Labour’s £5billion-a-year pension tax raids |
…to protecting our pensions Jason opposes Labour’s £5 billion-a-year tax raids on pensions and wants action taken to rebuild the UK’s pension system |
|
From undermining local nurseries… Baker opposed Conservative efforts in Parliament to make government childcare funding fairer |
…to fairer government funding for childcare Jason wants Labour’s unfair childcare funding rules changed so our local nurseries are not pushed into bankruptcy |
|
From clinging to the failed Human Rights Act… Baker continues to reject the need to change or replace the Human Rights Act despite it undermining our justice system |
…to an effective British Bill of Rights Jason wants a British Bill of Rights to replace the discredited Human Rights Act |
|
From surrendering on illegal immigration… Baker wants to give illegal immigrants in the UK the right to stay forever, which would only encourage more illegal immigration |
…to tough and effective border controls Jason wants more effective border controls so asylum seekers are processed quickly and illegal immigrants are sent home |
|
From taxing aspiration… The Lib Dems want to tax families even more than Labour and support a house price tax that will force people out of their homes |
…to taxing pollution Jason wants lower and fairer taxes. A Conservative government will abolish stamp duty for nine out of 10 first time buyers. |
|
From caving in to Brussels… Baker wants more and more decisions taken in Brussels. His party opposes giving the British people a say on the EU constitution |
…to a referendum on the EU constitution Jason wants the people of the UK to be able to vote on whether to accept the EU constitution, which will give more power to Brussels |
|
From books on conspiracy theories… Baker votes in Parliament less than the average MP but still found time to write a conspiracy theory book about Dr David Kelly |
…to getting on with the job of representing you Jason believes in public service and getting results for the people he represents |
