Turnaround UK

Writing as an ‘an ordinary citizen’ as he describeshimself, Robert Tyler presents his ideas for how this Government could betterapproach growth for the purpose of creating greater equality amongst the UKpopulation.  All his new policy ideas,and there are lots of them across a broad spectrum of Government departments inthis lateral and innovative contribution to political policy and commentary,reflect that strategy.He points out that the UK Government can only control andmanage four things; defence, tax, immigration andtheir own behaviour.  Everything elsedepends on the attitude and behaviour of citizens here and elsewhere in theworld.  That’s why he says mutual trustbetween citizens and government is crucial to success.  That trust doesn’t exist at the moment, andthose with most needs suffer the most in consequence.  Tyler suggests how to heal the rupture andrebuild national confidence.Tyler welcomes multiple views and varying personal interestsas a way of obtaining better policies:  ‘Weneed both a left and a right wing for the UK to fly’.  His proposals include an immediate switch to aProportional Representation voting system, claiming that would work for allpolitical parties right now and is anyway what repeated polls suggest thepublic want.This book is a must for those from every part of thepolitical spectrum interested in a host of new policy ideas and a pragmaticapproach to the reality of life today in the UK.
