- no income on first £10,000 wages. Great idea if they knew how to replace £16.8 billion lost revenue to the economy.

- the euro on brink of collapse, yet still committed to us ditching the pound.

- regional immigration quota system, possibly the most unworkable system. And specifically applies to non-EU citizens only.

- no prison sentences under 6 months. Laughable.

- limit tax relief on pensions, scrap tuition fees, extra money for disadvantaged pupils. All very attractive without any clarification how a debt-ridden country will afford such policies.
