We need a stable and growing economy

It would be a disaster to leave the EU

Small businesses starting out should pay lower tax for a minimum period of 3-5 years to enable expansion and growth

We need to sack all the politicians and put in a government of technocrats

Reduce corporation

Stop wasting time with

sound-bites and short-term measures —

instead focus on a long-term plan of

action

Encourage local trade

Cut red tape

I hope they continue EIS/SEIS
