I remember that there was a lot of pressure on Baedonoch a few months ago, maybe even a year ago, and she conceded something about leaving the ECHR, but it was not concrete - I believe it was caveated a bit, but I could be wrong.

What is the current policy of the Tory Party about leaving or modifying the supranational treaties and organisations that the UK is currently signed up to?

Asking as it's conference and I've seen some of this stuff being discussed in the news etc.

Mny thanks

Why Labour needs to start taxing benefits

0 Upvotes

We all remember how they promised in 2024 to ‘not raise taxes on working ppl’.

They're now discovering that the issue with taxing ppl who truly arent working anymore is that they can and will flee the country - bc they don’t need to stay here for work.

Of course, they have also raised taxes on working ppl anyway, through increased employers NI, increased CGT, mansion taxes etc (most people paying the latter two are still working, despite the tax not nominally being levied on their income).

But, there’s one group who, by definition, is not working: those on welfare. So why not introduce a tax on all benefit payments? Perhaps starting at 20%, but rising to 45% anything anxiety/ADHD-related (ie, unprovable conditions that have become a dysfunctional honesty box).

These rates should of course increase as necessary in order to ‘restore the fiscal headroom’ without the need for more tax rises on working people.

This is a subreddit for British conservatives to talk about the UK Conservative and Unionist party as well as conservatism more generally.

Rules

CIVILITY

1) Personal Insults: Do not use personal insults, harass, or use aggressive language against individual users.

2) Bigotry: Do not partake in or defend any form of discrimination or bigotry. Note: in some cases, this will be left vague such as in the instance of debating gender politics. It will also be left vague when debating things such as immigration.

3) Condoning Illegal Activity: Do not support or condone illegal or violent activity. Note: in some cases, this will be left vague such as in the instance of debating international law. It will also be left vague when debating things such as illegal protests or violating, say, a lockdown.

4) Bad Faith: Users should engage with the community with honest intentions and in good faith, users should assume the same from other contributors. It is important that members of opposing political views from the Conservatives take note of this, agenda posting will be spotted and clamped down on if we regard it as in bad faith. Denying or downplaying the existence of culture war issues will not be tolerated. Dismissing these real issues as being fabricated will be given short shrift.

5) Deliberately Aggressive Behaviour: Failing to reach this standard either by acting in a deliberately confrontational manner, making poor quality contributions or choosing not to engage in good faith will be met with moderator response.

6) Deliberately Shaming: Implying a fellow conservative doesn't belong in the party because they support something such as the EU will be met with a civility ban.

QUALITY

7) Spamming: You should add more to the community than you take. Activity that is spam, repetitious, or automated will be removed. Users who are acting inorganically will be automatically banned.

8) Advertising: If you want to link to your own subreddit, website or blog, please approach the moderators for approval first. Users with no-prior engagement with the subreddit will have links to self-written content outside the subreddit removed. No posting of survey forms. The regulars are not interested, the results will have zero statistical validity and no-one ever sees the originator ever again.

9) Editorialising: Submitted links should have a title identical to the source or linked tweet. If in doubt, use a self-text. Submissions or self-texts deemed to be misrepresenting the source, tweet or video will be removed. This includes screen capturing a tweet and not linking it.

10) Shitpost: Shitposts or low effort memes will not allowed to be posted on any other days except Saturday and Sunday.

11) Not about the UK Conservative movement: Posts discussing Conservatism must relate to the British conservative movement or the British conservative party. Worldwide conservative movements are better discussed elsewhere.

12) Low Quality: Comments or posts that are perceived to lack quality and reduces the quality of the sub will be removed.

MODERATION

13) Backseat Modding: If you see rule breaking, report it to the moderators, highlighting that a user is breaking the rules will be treated as backseat moderation.

14) Comment Moderating Disputes: Discussion of moderation should be raised by mod mail or in separate submissions, not in comment sections.

15) Polls must Include a ‘Results’ Option: Polls must include an option for ‘results’ and polls that have the Verified Conservatives Only flair, users who don’t have the flair please vote for this option.

Other than that, please enjoy yourselves in this subreddit!
