Full statement

By choosing to vote for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Daniel Woodruffe, you are choosing a future that prioritises national interests and the wellbeing our communities. The SDP's top policy commitments offer real and meaningful solutions to the issues facing our nation today.

Nationalising railways and household utilities is a cornerstone of the SDP's agenda. The privatisation of these essential services has led to declining standards and profits being siphoned off to foreign owners. Under SDP leadership, railways and utilities will be brought back into public ownership, ensuring they serve the needs of British citizens with affordable and reliable energy and transport services.

Mass immigration has strained our social fabric and undermined wage growth. Instead of relying on imported labour, the SDP advocates for investing in the training and development of our own young people. Ending mass immigration will foster a safer, more cohesive society and provide opportunities for British workers.

The decline of British industry has resulted in significant trade deficits and economic vulnerabilities. The SDP is committed to revitalising our manufacturing sector through robust industrial, energy, and skills training programmes. By implementing trade policies that protect and promote British industry, the SDP will secure well-paid jobs and ensure economic stability.

The traditional family is the bedrock of society, yet it has been overlooked in recent policy-making. The SDP recognises the importance of supporting family life through comprehensive welfare, education, housing, tax, and economic policies. Strengthening the family unit will lead to a happier, more prosperous, and safer society.

Healthcare also stands to benefit from SDP reforms. While maintaining a reformed NHS free at the point of need, the SDP plans to establish a 'National Care Service' to provide comprehensive, high-quality social care across the country.

Lastly, addressing the housing crisis is imperative. The SDP will spearhead large-scale state sector building projects to provide over one million new homes, ensuring every citizen has access to affordable housing and giving young people the opportunity to start families.

A vote for Daniel Woodruffe is a vote for a brighter, more secure future. Choose the SDP and support policies that put Britain and its people first.
