Reform it or face collapse

-

The Covid19 Pandemic has given the citizens the economic and political justificat­ion for demanding that their representa­tives in the House of Commons and in local government support an Act of Parliament being implemente­d that would impose a ceiling on the maximum salary paid to any employee of the state throughout the civil service, public sector, local government or quango or government agency that salary ceiling would be fixed at £100,000 for an indefinite period of time.

Such a ceiling would be applied to all current and future employees on such pay grades currently in existence, the inflation busting council tax rises and minuscule tax allowance increases enjoyed by both private sector and public sector employees would be improved if controls were placed upon the ability of high-level state employees to earn salaries very often well in excess of £100,000.

In addition, by limiting access to the State Occupation Pension Scheme for all employees earning above £50,000 for current and future employees, the Government would have sufficient monies to reduce the cost of the Covid19 pandemic without implementi­ng austerity on the day to day living standards of the street level citizen and their families.

The Covid19 Pandemic has forced a radical restructur­ing of the British state and its antiquated methods and ideas.

The English Democrats Party believe that we as a country must reform the public finances before they collapse.
