For those of you who have not been following the blog, I am Thomas Burridge, I am the LPUK candidate for Norwich North. First off let’s deal with the main issue that many people will have with my candidacy, I am 18 years old. I suspect your first thought will be ‘he’s too young to be an MP’, granted experience can have its value but the fact remains; decisions are being taken now in the houses of parliament that will continue to hound my generation for the rest of our lives. Debt is the central issue amongst these, with each man, woman and child in the country having £40,000 worth on debt over their head, regardless of whether they were given a say in the creation of New Labour’s monumental national debt, a debt that Conservative and LibDem policies will do little to reduce.
There must be a realisation that politics requires the younger generation to be involved, Britain is heading for a democratic crisis, with electoral turnout at its lowest amongst younger voters, something must be done to tackle the wave of cynicism that infects the youth. By electing one of our number, young people can begin to realise that perhaps the system has not forgotten and forsaken them but that it is possible to break through the perceived walls set against us.
The Libertarian Party is the only party that has the ideas necessary to take Britain into a golden age of freedom and prosperity. LPUK knows that the only way for Britain to have wealth and stability is to have a system in place where business can complete freely and fairly, that to have freedom we must roll back the New Labour police state and give people the freedom to make their own decisions about their lives.
More details will follow shortly.
