Foreword by your candidate It is clear that we are all fed up by politics in general at the moment,

with our current PM having the lowest poll rating that any other leader has had in this nation for decades; yet what is the alternative? The general population both seems to hate the incumbent but not want to elect the elitist leader of the opposition, as demonstrated by the fact that there is no party with an outright majority in the polls.

What Justicia wants to offer you with is a real alternative to the “unholy trinity” of the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, and a fresh start, that is fair to all. Our party is not just about politics but about the people, and we want to completely recalibrate the focus of the system towards you.

I, John Grocott, will be standing for to be elected in the local constituency of the Norton Knatchbull School, and I can tell you that we would bring in real change for you. There are three things I can promise you.

Everyone knows that students work differently to the rest of the human population. Students can’t help it if their minds at the peak of their activity towards the end of the day, and inactive in the early hours of the morning, until they reach double figures; for this reason we shall push school starting times forward to 10 o’clock. Justicia’s first promise to you is to ensure your welfare.

Money makes the world go round, as they say, and I know what it feels like to have to survive socially with only £2.53 left in the bank account. So I ask you this, what kind of government would want to increase taxes at a time when we are all feeling a little short on change? We plan to scrap those things which are not needed for this nation, without reducing your services or their quality, for example: we will stop the introduction of the ID Cards; we will review our nuclear defence budget and make savings by supporting the new EU nuclear defence scheme; we will cut bureaucracy and reduce admin staff. Our second promise to you is to put your economic wellbeing as a top priority at this time of uncertainty.

But my third promise is regarding style and quality. The political system has been tarnished recently, with our ranking of the quality of our politicians considerably dropping. These people don’t care about you, they don’t care about your local issues, our local issues; politicians are a corrupt bunch of people born out of wedlock. Justicia, as the name implies, is about delivering justice, fairness and honesty, and that is what we shall bring to politics. My promise to everybody is to deliver political reform.

Your vote is crucial to bring Justicia. John Grocott

Our Policies

Education School days start at ten. SATS and CATS tests for all years to be scrapped. Maintain Grammar School system. Improve teaching quality by making it mandatory for all secondary

teachers to have a masters degree.

Economy Reduce budget deficit by:

o Change benefit legislation so long term unemployed do not receive benefits (two years being the limit.)

o Increase and maintain higher standards of regulation of the benefit system and with harsher penalties for abusers.

o Reduce and review farming subsidies. (Subsidies cause famine in Africa by putting local famers out of business by providing a cheaper alternative of food.)

o Review trident nuclear system and reduce costs by supporting the new EU nuclear defence initiative.

o Scrap introduction of ID cards. Green tax initiatives

o Tax incentives for green energy production for private households and for industries.

o Taxing sources of dirty energy more heavily, especially those involving the use of coal.

o Tax aviation per plane not per passengers – therefore even empty flight pay to help save the plant. Currently they do not.

Electoral Reform Scrap current system of expensive and introduce a parliamentary

attendance allowance such as other foreign parliaments have (similar to the allowance companies give London employees)

Make the House of Lords an elected body with a separate peerage system existing so current peers may keep their titles. The elections will be carried out using proportional representation.

Justice System and Policing Harsher penalties for violent criminals. Tougher sentences for re-offenders. Reoffending violent criminals will not be offered bail. Criminals must face their victims to confront the impact they have on

people’s lives so they may be more likely to reform. More of an emphasis on reform while criminals serve their sentences More community service for petty crimes with less people that

commit such offences being sent to prison. Hardened criminals must not be mixed with petty criminals in

prisons as they become hardened themselves. Scrapping of community support offices as their limited powers

make them ineffective. Spend revenue on full time police officers. Reduce bureaucracy within the policing system.

o Minimum quota of twenty hours a week on the street for uniformed officers.

Devolution of Power Local councils to have more spending powers. Teachers to have more control of curriculum. Cut number of administrators in NHS but more power given to trusts

whilst making sure they are well regulated. Devolve power to Afghan troops by integrating British troops into the

army so eventual withdrawal will be more gradual.
