Manifestos are out from two more parties, neither of which had any seats in the last Parliament. One was from UKIP, offering a combination of policies designed to appeal to readers of the Daily Express: lock up criminals, support for “beleaguered” drivers and self-employed people, get rid of foreign aid, more police, criminalise breast ironing (I didn’t know what that was, either), stop funding devolution and how dare anyone say we’re little Englanders? The other was from the Women’s Equality Party, whose eight point plan for a ‘caring economy” is presented as “challenging the myth that social justice and equality are somehow separate from our economy.” They want equal pay, universal child care, integrated health and social care, more accountability for inequality and lots of policy reviews. It all seemed well-reasoned and very sane, but maybe that’s because I read it immediately after the UKIP one.
