"YPP is a poor name for a party" Really?

This is the most common question we get about the party on the trail. The reason we're sticking with the name is this:

1. The average age of a first time buyer is nearly 40.

2. More under-40s do not vote than all the people that elected the current administration

We believe these 2 key factors are central and integral

High rents, high property prices and high taxes on output and employment are crippling the economy. This is unanswerable today. The direct results are low wages and profits, making homes for all, employment and capital formation extremely difficult. The incentive is to invest as much as possible in more parasitical property assets. There are no bigger factors than this destroying the economy, in all places. So this is the root we are targeting.

No politician is allowed to talk about it because those already with snouts in the trough are property owners and will become unelectable if they even think about it. All successful politicians today are there to prop up rents, property prices and taxes. The party politics is irrelevant. Labour = Conservative. Left = Right. People are right when they say they do not know who to vote for. We call this condition - "Forbidden Knowledge".

Therefore the following is our rational policy:

1. Older people are already doing fine on the property ladder. Like turkeys, they do not vote for Xmas. In general. Therefore we do not want their vote. They can keep it. Its pointless trying. Period.

2. People of whatever age aspiring to a career in trough snouting can also keep their vote. No parasites seeking a job with the 1% here please.

3. Most people under 40 are doing very badly indeed, unable to get a home of their own. In general. They are not stupid either, so will not vote for something they cannot get. So vote NOTA. This is exactly the vote we are going after.

We need as much support as possible to show them there are others who care about the future of people of all ages and classes. And that it is worth starting to vote.

This is why we formed YPP. This is our strategy. We are certain of it. We need your help to carry this message forward. Not your advice on a better name. A different name will only improve our chances marginally.

Candidate "in elections anywhere" for the Young People's Party.

The Croydon Conservative

We're having some good sport with a Conservative in Croydon. Classic example of psychological denial and projection, so well worth a case history. When he spotted what we are saying with our policy "landowners are the world's biggest benefits scroungers", the trolling attacks started. We've hit the forbidden spot inside his mind.

I saw him coming at the beginning of the campaign, so have set up bait on several occasions, which has been duly taken hook line and sinker. Yeah we've done this a 1000 times. Useful research.

Dr Wrigley asked him at the count last night where he thinks money comes from. "The State?" So is clueless. Clearly this is the first time he's heard about our policy.

He's refusing to meet up for serious dialogue and when he recognised he'd been rumbled stopped making his tweets public but continues to troll out several tweets in a row, always attacking straw men. Lets see where it goes. Here's the latest. He's insisting I answer his straw men so I'll comply and let's watch how he buries himself.

As always we'd like to help him change his mind on the way. He now possesses forbidden knowledge. Its just matter of time.

Mr Reed and Mr Stranack. We can See you

Both leading candidates' latent policy is to support Landlords and Bankers before the people of Croydon.

Welfare for the Wealthy. Funded by the tax payers of Croydon.

This may not be obvious. The only policy they mention only treats important but relatively small problems such as litter. Only treats effects such as riots, apparent lack of finance for services and welfare to mitigate lack of dealing with big problems first.

Avoiding at all costs the big problem: High rents, High taxes, High house prices. You know, the things that only benefit Landlords and Bankers.

Young People can See them.

Croydon. Think carefully about this. You are once again about to elect someone who will harm you.
