TONY MACK
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR THE PEOPLE OF CLACTON
This is what I stand for:
- Protecting our borders and reduce immigration
"The latest estimates on migration from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest that in 2023: 1.2 million people migrated into the UK and 532,000 people emigrated from it, leaving a net migration figure of 685,000." [Source: House of Commons Library]
For more information, I recommend The Migration Observatory
- Low tax, high growth economics
"In 2019/20, income tax receipts were equivalent to 8.6% of GDP. Receipts increased to 10.2% of GDP in 2023/24. The relative fall in income tax receipts between the financial crisis and the start of the pandemic can be broadly attributed to weak earnings growth and government increasing the tax-free personal allowance." [Source: UK Parliament]
For more information, I recommend Tax Statistics: an overview
- Ending dependency culture and encouraging personal responsibility
"Dependency culture is a term associated with New Right theorists such as Charles Murray who argue that the welfare state undermines individual responsibility and effectively traps claimants within the benefits system with little or no incentive to escape. This culture is said to emerge when welfare claimants adopt a subculture of norms and values that make it difficult for them to return to work. The welfare state is therefore considered to be a cause – rather than a solution – to poverty." [Source: Tutor2U.net]

- Transparency in politics
"What is Transparency? The Government has set out the need for greater transparency across its operations to enable the public to hold public bodies and politicians to account. This includes commitments relating to public expenditure, intended to help achieve better value for money." [Source: service.gov.uk]
I believe this is not happening.
- Scrapping woke (diversity, equality and inclusion) policies in Britain
"An overwhelming majority of British voters want the Government to stop talking about its so-called ‘war on woke’ and instead focus on issues the public really cares about instead, according to an exclusive new poll for Byline Times. In recent months Rishi Sunak’s Government has made a series of interventions on issues such as trans rights and free speech in universities, designed to inflame a so-called ‘culture war’ with the opposition Labour Party."

- Education, not indoctrination
"Young people are finding it increasingly hard to express their opinions freely, both inside and outside the classroom. The Newcastle group met to discuss what is really happening in our schools." [Source: Politics in Pubs]
