I'm minded of the old adage - keep it simple stupid. It's got me through 44 years in business & I'm still going.

The US constitution ( ok, it's not a manifesto) is roughly 4 pages long (c. 4,500 words).

I do wonder if a UK constitution of a similar length could be written - then a manifesto to align with the constitution would be an easier ( ok, not a lot) task?

I think it is very true that to solve our many problems we will have to take tough decisions which none of the current lot in Westminster are prepared to seriously consider let alone take. Currently manifestos just contain glib sound bites and stay away from laying out the difficult decisions we need to face.

I think this idea of writing a bespoke manifesto is a masterstroke and as well as being a monthly subscriber to Northern Variant I have just paid £100 to the cause and will try and do more in the future.
