TransManifesto.org.uk

What is the Trans Manifesto?

The Trans Manifesto, developed through the LGBT Consortium, contains three key messages from trans communities. With your help, we are asking each candidate in the May 2015 Westminster General Election to promise to uphold these principles when considering legislation if they are elected.
The three principles are:
  • Regard trans individuals as equal citizens with equal rights,
  • Empower trans individuals to be authorities on all aspects of their own lives, and
  • Encourage diverse, representative, realistic and positive portrayals of trans individuals.

Nursing Counts priorities

I was recently contacted by a lady called Maureen regarding my commitment to NHS staffing.

As a voter in your constituency, I am asking if you will support the Nursing Counts priorities.

1. Improve patient care by ensuring safe staffing levels; giving nurses access to training and; listening to the concerns of staff.

2. Value nursing by paying a fair wage; stopping the downbanding of nursing experience and; investing in nursing so that future generations aspire to become nurses.


3. Invest in health and care by guaranteeing no more cuts in the nursing workforce; increasing resources for the community and; implementing workforce planning that reflects the needs of patients.


The nature of my candidacy is going to end up as something of a rolling theme. There are two things to consider

1. My stated personal view (That you should not trust as a fact from any candidate)

2. My SMART-voter.org policies. Which a random sample of 20 members of the Wokingham electorate will decide and I will commit to supporting with a vote back guarantee (You can trust these, but we don't know what they are yet)

1. My personal view (This is true, but don't take my word for it) is that if the state is to do anything of value it is to maintain the health of it's citizens. While I actually do not support free at the point of care. I'd like to see a nominal charge of a cinema ticket fee to see the GP to encourage people not turn up at every 3 day sniffle. I'm also a strong believer that the staff and premises needed to meet public demand should be state employed and state owned.

There is a disturbing correlation between the reduction in front line staff and the increase in locum staff private companies and political donations from people running those companies.

Medical staff must afford to raise families and have quality time with them, that means good salaries and fair working hours. Strangely enough I think the solution to that lies in Taxing property assets, reducing their inflated values and making the affordable to people who work locally, but that again is a policy I have no influence over driving or supporting. Wokingham decides. Fact.

2. What will Wokingham decide? It depends on the circles you walk in. I think everyone but the most right wing of Tories would agree to those principles being on the list and am both hopeful and confident that I will be allowed to commit to supporting these measures in a meaningful way that, at the time of writing, no other candidate is willing to match.

Mayfair loophole. Amendment 3


I have received a lot of e-communications recently regarding the 38 degrees proposal to stop hedge fund managers from paying 28% tax and 10% tax using the now dubbed Mayfair loophole.

I can assure you. If they are able to pay 10% tax using a corporate structure employing entrepreneurs relief, they will. And for the ones with friends in the tax office there is no risk risk discovery or jail, so they will definitely try.

Over the last 30 years will have amassed unfair wealth, and if you understand currency, that means a unfair debt over you and, thanks to the completely avoidable inheritance tax, their children over your children.

I'm not sure how workable the 38 degrees amendment is because they are mostly profiting from capital gains, and as major shareholders in a business...technically this is how lots of other business practices work.

My personal preference would be to do away with entrepreneurs relief for any business that does not produce a physical or digital value added (not value shifted) product and make capital gains tax no different from income tax. That will do away with an awful lot of tax legislation and manipulation.
However, I'm a big fan of trying something that has momentum behind it.

There's no harm in explicitly focusing on a form of tax avoidance and making rules against it. Indeed, one of the many ways the establishment maintain the status quo is by not agreeing on how severe a limitation should be...and therefore applying no limitation at all.

As a SMART-voter.org candidate were I committed to supporting treating capital gains like other income sources (rich people mostly make capital gains) I would be obliged to support this bill. That is why you should ONLY vote for candidates willing to make a meaningful commitment using contractual obligations to constituents such as SMART-voter.org

For those of you following my General Election campaign, I have a set of 5 core policies that I am committed to. I have since also committed to voting no to Fracking owing to a Greenpeace pledge that should help advertise my campaign, and is a matter I feel strongly about. The other commitments will be down to a random sample of the Wokingham electorate.

I have very little doubt that over 50% of Wokingham support this bill and therefore very much hope to have it on my promise list, I will definitely encourage those 20 people to add it to the list which will be on film and open to the public.

My main focus for now is a political system that is resistant to corruption. 1 voice in 300 is not going to pass any legislation so you need to spread the word to voters harder and faster than the vested interests and door steppers do.

Most voters are over 65, and the internet is not their primary source of information.  I don't have a doorstep army. You must talk to your family about demanding their Voter Consumer rights.

Wokingham General Election 2015. Kaz. Lokuciewski. Independent Parlimentary Candidate



 
SMART-voter.org Promise Table   

BBC leaves me out and Redwood proves unwilling to justify conflicting interests.

http://www.twitter.com/Kaz4Wokingham 

If you're fed up of the spin, lies and vested interests, thinking about not voting, defacing your ballot or ticking none of the above, then please consider what I'm offering because all the other candidates refuse to provide it to me as a voter. Accountability.

For those who don’t know me, I was born in Stanwell Moore, grew up in Ascot and have owned a home and worked in Wokingham for about 18 years. I'm 39, married and have two children in primary school. The last name is thanks to my Grandfather who fled Poland in the 2nd World War and the first name...some parents just like to be different.

I appreciate that for many people, a candidate with a Polish name standing for election in a traditionally Conservative constituency doesn’t bode well for a political career in the UK. Then again, I’m not looking for a political career.

I think that’s why we don't have 'representatives' of our community in
Parliament. Instead we have a disproportionate number of career casino bankers, tax avoiders and landlords, backed by investors who get their crony re-elected, who then consistently nurture private interests that any decent person would consider a conflict of interest. Safe, as long as some political fanatic asks you what your concerns are every 5 years.

Vote like you're a professional running a business.

I want some voter consumer rights. I want my candidate to be 'contractually' obliged to call for and support the things they present as 'cast iron', and make it clear what promises are open for negotiation.

Our Wokingham party candidates refused to give me the voting rights we need, so  I stood.  Now conscientious business minded people like me have a water tight voting contract they can sign at the ballot box.

Find out more about how I commit at smart-voter.org.

No lies. No compromise

A vote for Kaz in Wokingham is more than just a protest vote. A protest against corruption and broken promises. It's also for the sound policies Wokingham wants. To cherry pick the best policies that the other candidates refuse to truly commit to supporting, and to write our own.

Together, we can show our politicians that we refuse to be fooled anymore.

Test the integrity of the other candidates. Ask them to commit, contractually, to driving and supporting something...ANYTHING. If you can get them to do that you will have started the movement the planet sorely needs. If they won't commit to anything then you need to think about the kind of person they will be after 2 years of 'opportunity'. This is the most important contract you get to sign, and they deny you the right to hold them to account?

Lets give intelligent honest representatives a chance. People free from obligations to funders & campaign cronies. To achieve that we need to take the work and uncertainty out of researching and comparing candidates.

Having consulted with residents I have compiled a list of priority policies for Wokingham.

Find the policies I'm offering here. I have forgone my right to lie or change my mind regarding the calling for in earnest and supporting or opposing of these policies as described.

Ask your other candidates to sign up or offer a similar commitment to accountable government. smart-voter.org

How enrich your family at the expense of your community. Level 1. The base money cartel.

How enrich your family at the expense of your community.


1. Control currency. For example BoE or the FED.

2. As financial centre, make an IOU for £100m to create liquidity / stimulate the economy.

3. Lend it to your family, who run the private banks, at an interest rate of 0.5%. They pay you £500k /year for this.

4. Borrow the money back from your family by selling bonds at rate of 4% to spend on infrastructure and war. They are allowed to lend you £95m since they must keep 5%. Community pay them £3.8m/year on the bond.
 
5. As you spend that money on inflated infrastructure and defence contracts with your family members who run the only companies that can win the contracts but then subcontract out the actual work putting 20-50% on the top, the IOU currency ends up back with your family bankers. The banks need only keep hold of 5% that money in their virtual vault.

6. You borrow more money to spend on big infrastructure and defence contracts with your family again. Your banker family can lend you £90.4m (with a capital ratio of 5% on the £95 on their books as deposited sums not held in reserve to anything). Community pay them £3.6m / year for the privilege.

7. Spend all the money.

If you continue this cycle until their is no new liquidity the community you represent are paying approximately 40% / year in interest to your family on the original currency you created on their behalf.
 
20-50% of the virtual £1billion of debt based currency you spent was syphoned to your contract winning middle man family.

That family move the money into offshore entities (made legal in the early 1980s) that then buy up land assets, renting them back to your community and inflating property prices for those who stretch to buy. This requires larger mortgages from your banker family.
 
As state base capital slowly erodes, sell the state assets to your offshore family capital to provide a temporary national capital buffer that can be used for more spending and paying off debts.

Your family become the private owners of what were community assets, built by the community using liquidity created by you on their behalf, and charge rent on their use.
 
If the community get wind of this, create a trade agreement like TTIP and TPP with another community that removes local sovereignty of those assets. This removes the ability of your community to wipe the slate clean and re appropriate and distribute the stolen wealth.
 

Keeping it going


To maintain this system within a democracy it is essential that your family make up the majority of parliament. A fair government would nationalise the bank and ring fence property and infrastructure assets from tax avoiding offshore investors. You must not let people get elected who would do that.
 
1. Grow a brand that welcomes groups of geeks. They will loyally promote your brand in local, town and parish elections for a chance to sound clever and a cup of tea. Though national policy is irrelevant to local issues, the more targeted local campaigning does not impede on your nation campaigning budgetConfused voters will like the attention of the local politician will keep voting out of habit or trust for the local representative who does not understand what you are doing.

2. Talk about how 'We all need to work hard" how "We are growing jobs", how "Tax avoidance is abhorrent" and how "Rent / house prices is a real problem". Even though you and your family basically just do the opposite for 50% of all productivity.
 
3. Share concerns with community  vocally or in publicity but DO NOT commit contractually to ANYTHING. If pushed say "It's not that simple" or "It's a very complicated issue". Never say no.
 
4. Steer clear of situations where someone pressures you to become SMART-voter.org friendly. You will be forced to refuse a reasonable request and exposes you for what you are.

The Corrie exchange

Sorry Alistair. I mean't it as an 'are'.
I don't really know you nor you me. There are only our actions.
I could not be offended by anything you said. How could I?
Your integrity in the council can only be shown by deed.
Again. I don't know you so please try to take this the right way.
If you are partially in this to court contacts to improve your tax advice business later then this its going to blow out of all proportion.
If as hope you 'are' in this for your desire to do right by the people of the borough and expect, if anything, a little long term financial loss for the privalege, then you have my upmost apologies. And I'd like to by you a drink and support you should your future in politics continue.
But I only have your deeds to go by.
Kaz
P.S If your the second guy then Happy Birthday by the way and sorry.

Dear Kaz

You say you were hoping I was one of those?

So it appears it does not really matter what you and I say to each other, seeing as you have already made up your mind about me.

I would have preferred you ended with "I am hoping you are one of those", which would still be an underhand tactic of getting a reaction, but at least left the door open for dialogue.

But as you are not open to having a proper dialogue, you just want to attack, and you jump to conclusions, I guess there is no real point meeting up or continuing this conversation.

Which is a shame.

Hope you have a good weekend.

A list of each expenditure over £500 has to be published by the council and for 20 days each year the details of those must be made available. on request so companies people seeking government contracts have to accept that they may be scrutinised and the Government representative also. If you do not believe this is necessary they you may as well move to Bulgaria or Russia.

I would be absolutely happy and would not expect it to be any other way. Part of the cost of true democracy. Bit by bit we are getting there..

But rather than demand the information I thought I might test the water. Some people are honest, open and expect the same of all people they do business with. I was hoping you were one of those.

Hi Kaz,

Would you as business person want to do business with the council if you knew your contracts with the council were going to be made public?

Would your clients be happy for you to publish your contracts with them?

This conversation will be so much easier face to face.

I don;t have those and it would take a lot of time.

Do you believe the community should not be allowed to see the contract?

Hello Kaz

Can you find me some examples of bodies like WBC which have published contracts like these?

Can you find me examples of companies like WB which have done the same?

If you could bring those with you when we meet that would be great

Saturday 4th I gather you will be having some kind of feedback review anyway so we could work around that?

But back to the contract. Please . . . 

Some actual response to this. Not just  for me to read. Published for the people it really effects to review at their leisure.

Thanks

Hello Kaz

Can't do during the day due to work commitments.

This weekend is bad as it is my birthday weekend. Can we do next weekend?

I will think about the recording. It sounds a little big brother and weird, but let me get used to the idea.

Alistair
 

 

Thanks Alistair

Typically I unavailable until about 7:30pm but my work timetable is very flexible an I can get out for a couple of hours. Today is as good as any. 1pm ish?

It may be relevant to record the meeting do you have any objections, conditions. My motivation is so that as we talk I can quote the answers but I will seek your contextual approval of any quotes I intend to use. i.e. you will be given the opportunity to qualify it before I publish.

Regards

Dear Mr Lokuciewski,
 
Thank you fo you email.
 
Please feel free to call me Alistair.
 
Why don't we meet up as soon as possible for an hour or two and talk through all the points which are on your mind?
 
Let me know what evenings or weekends would work best for you, an which timings would suit.
 
I look forward to meeting you.
 
Alistair
-------------------------------------------
Dear Mr Corrie.

I and many others were very disappointed to hear that you had signed the £100m 'Wokingham Regeneration' contract on the morning of the first day of the exhibition.

I will come clean. I am the Kaz4Wokingham who has been ranting about the proposals on twitter. To me it seems that the community was not adequately included and as an active member of the normal local community I know I am in the majority.

What busy person would turn up and give a view when there is a poster for  'Regeneration'. We trust the council to do a good job od the 1960s parade and though that was it.

In the same breath is the poster has said, 100 homes to be built on and around Elms field you would get a very different response and I feel that also a response should have been sought were the scope to have been an attempt at objectivity.

There was mention of 5000 leaflets for the original scope back in 2011. I have had to make a freedom of information request to find out which roads these were sent to since the information was never forth coming

The other area of concern is the actual contract. This is a very large contract with one specific supplier over 10 years. Given the scandals that we keep coming up in the media I hope you can respect that many people much like myself are no longer willing to accept anything short of complete transparency. I hope you believe as I do that a public representative should expect to prove their integrity with their actions rather than assume it.

I was hoping you would be willing to make the contract open to public scrutiny.

Regarding the actual plans I think they look nice and were it not for the fact that we have not yet resolved the school spaces issue and, that we have unacceptable congestion my objections would be solely based on the general Green view that the world can not afford to keep going on like this, one that locally I may well be in a minority.

 I suspect most would agree that affordable homes. But am also conserved that, in an areas where average house prices are nearly double in wokingham are nearly double that of the national average the profit for the developers here is massive. I would be sure that we are paying the developer reasonable building costs and the lion share being part buy property with needs assessed as the only solution to young people today having a family home.

I have been deeply angered that this information has not been made available and that my local community seems to be ignored. I aslo feel compelled to ensure as many people as possible are aware when they are not being actively included in the way I feel they should.

My channel has been mostly ranting on twitter.

I would rather this was not the case.

Please can you make the £100m contract freely available online to the community who it so deeply affects.

Regards

Kazek Lokuciewski
