THREAD (1/n) I want a political party that combines patriotism and traditional values with a willingness to fund public services, properly help families and communities, and protect manufacturers from competition that uses slave labour.

(2/n) I want a party that is really conservative, and doesn't just say conservative things when at election time. I want a party that cares more about the working man and woman, and helping less advantaged communities, than it does about identity politics.

(3/n) I want a party which understands that you won't solve the housing problem if you don't build houses. I want a party that understands that you can build all the houses you want, but you won't solve the housing shortage if you have open borders.

(4/n) I want a party that is on the right side of the culture war, but doesn't just tweet complaints about things like gender neutral traffic lights while having not a single policy on their website. I want a party who has thought about these issues.

(5/n) I want a party that believes in capitalism, but doesn't just want to sell everything to the highest bidder and throw British business under the bus so we can import tat from Vietnam. I want a party that sees a role for government, but isn't Marxist.

(6/n) I want a party that will actually do something about migration, instead of just talking about it. I want a party that will unite the country, not divide it along racial lines. I want a party with a plan, not soundbites.

(7/n) I want a party that doesn't talk about levelling up while throwing UK farmers and manufacturers to the wolves. I want a party that thinks more about how we create quality jobs and encourage industry than it does about boardroom gender quotas.
