These are the home policies from the manifesto

  • Introduce greater competences to subregional bodies
  • Introduction of a points system on immigration
  • Caps on non-EU migration
  • More stringent measures on asylum seekers
  • Reduction in number of long term refugees admitted

The first one has already been addressed under local communities and the final two look to be ruled out by 'This government will commit to accepting significantly more refugees' in the agreement. However, the last two look to be goers with the pledge to limit EU migration in the agreement.

I've also come up with some other ideas, not necessarily in the home office area. I can't remember mentioning them before but that doesn't say anything so stop me if I'm boring you.
The first one is presidential libraries but for the Queen. I like the idea of presidential libraries and I think they could work quite well over here too. I'm not entirely sure what you would fill them with, maybe making them sort of museums for their reign with information about their governments and everyday life etc. It would need some working out but I think it has potential.
The second is to restrict foreign ownership of British interests. When I first thought of it I was thinking more of places of cultural significance but important industries could be covered too. I don't like the idea of Arabs and the Chinese coming over here and buying all our famous firms with money earned in less than respectable manners. I envisioned a limit on ownership shares but that might fall foul of free market rules so maybe a system like listed buildings is in order.
My final idea was a tax on holiday homes which aren't in actual occupation for 39 weeks of the year with the money going back into the local area. It's quite simply an attempt to redress the problems raised by an excessive number of holiday homes in local communities.
That's all I've got for now.
