Therein lies the crux of the problem. We should never have handed power over to any other state. As I see it, if you don't live/work in any given area how do you know what the true problems are. I certainly wouldn't come to Ossie and state you need more bins on the streets. I wouldn't have a clue if you did or didn't need them. Europe is so far removed from England I doubt it could find it on the map.

I've thought long and hard about this and I am torn between what matters most to the general public. Reading comments here, there and everywhere leads me to think that Crime is the main concern for most people. Having said that though, I think crime may only be a main issue if you have been a victim of crime. Therefore I think my one policy would be Immigration Control. If you come to live here, you shouldn't be allowed to claim benefits, health care (unless an emergency) or housing rights.
