We need root and branch reform and sometimes more. We must regrow our public services from the bottom again whence they originated e.g. health services. Police must be replaced gradually by a local constabulary. Justice must be returned to trial by peer, so local magistrates and other courts, local police station, etc., which will provide work and structural investment. Communities should begin growing local networks for optimum independence, including locally grown food and skills training. Taxes should be collected by local councils after producing a budget to be approved by the public,and govt in turn asks councils for their funds, presenting a budget which can be rejected. Central government should have no direct control of public money. All public servants to be audited within 5 years before and after public office. MPs should be volunteers, temporary, for twice yearly parliamentary meetings split between north and south and all else to be administered locally. All utilities including industries such as pharma and munition to be publicly, but not government, owned (see original NHS before govt takeover) and a limit on profits and wealth, with excess going back into internal investment. Something to start with. I will be putting these ideas on my own newsletter when it starts.
I agree w you! Can you lead us there? I’ll vote for you!
Thanks Abigail, for now I’ll support and advise, as needed!
I like your ideas. The main question is how to get there. I have three inputs regarding how to get to a freer world:
1) Build a free country in Liberland. See https://liberland.org/en/.
2) Prefer to use non-fiat money. Instead use efficient non-government peer-to-peer electronic cash. See https://youtu.be/bhD4IZNhKPA?t=2.
3) If Liberland doesn't succeed then try Seasteading. See https://www.seasteading.org/.

Guns. You forgot about guns and small arms.
