Manifesto 1.0

A New Settlement for Britain

  • Growth
  • Security
  • Opportunity
  • Reform

Building prosperity. Securing the future. Together.

Manifesto 1.0 is an independently developed programme of economic and social reform, published as 40 proposals over 40 days. It is not the platform of a political party. The public — and anyone who knows better — is invited to examine the ideas, challenge them and discuss them openly.

Universal Healthcare Through Compulsory Insurance

Keep universal healthcare — change the model that delivers it.

Retain universal healthcare while reforming how it is financed and delivered: compulsory qualifying health insurance for every resident, regulated competition between providers, and government assistance so nobody is left without cover.

The Four Themes

Four questions about Britain

Proposals are tagged against four themes, and a proposal may sit under more than one. Each theme is a route into the relevant proposals.

Growth

A stronger, more productive economy.

View proposals

Security

Greater financial, social and national security.

View proposals

Opportunity

Giving people the tools and opportunities to build better lives.

View proposals

Reform

Modernising institutions and systems that no longer work well enough.

View proposals

Scrutiny

Good ideas should survive difficult questions.

Each proposal carries its own section of objections, risks and unresolved questions. Where the criticism is strong, the proposal should change.
