Full Description
Writing as an 'an ordinary citizen' as he describes
himself, Robert Tyler presents his ideas for how this Government could better
approach growth for the purpose of creating greater equality amongst the UK
population. All his new policy ideas,
and there are lots of them across a broad spectrum of Government departments in
this lateral and innovative contribution to political policy and commentary,
reflect that strategy.
He points out that the UK Government can only control and
manage four things; defence, tax, immigration and
their own behaviour. Everything else
depends on the attitude and behaviour of citizens here and elsewhere in the
world. That's why he says mutual trust
between citizens and government is crucial to success. That trust doesn't exist at the moment, and
those with most needs suffer the most in consequence. Tyler suggests how to heal the rupture and
rebuild national confidence.
Tyler welcomes multiple views and varying personal interests
as a way of obtaining better policies: 'We
need both a left and a right wing for the UK to fly'. His proposals include an immediate switch to a
Proportional Representation voting system, claiming that would work for all
political parties right now and is anyway what repeated polls suggest the
public want.
This book is a must for those from every part of the
political spectrum interested in a host of new policy ideas and a pragmatic
approach to the reality of life today in the UK.
