In a world where it feels like no one hears your voice, I understand that sentiment all too well. I have presented the government with four effective methods to cut our energy expenses in half, all at zero cost, yet no action has been taken.
The prevailing narratives perpetuated by right-wing media and politicians about our nation, our fellow citizens, and our values often seem like mere fairy tales, leaving me feeling disconnected from the reality they paint. This prompted me to conduct the Giga Poll, a monumental survey aimed at capturing the true sentiments of the British population, revealing a significant disconnect from the right-wing agenda. Even Farage, renowned for his populist appeal, appears out of touch with the public.
A striking revelation from the poll is the genuine values of happiness, fairness, and compassion that resonate within the British populace. While concerns about immigration and the cost of living remain prominent, the issue of soaring energy bills exacerbates the frustration felt by many.
For years, I have advocated for breaking the tie between gas prices and green energy costs. Poverty is another pressing concern, with a considerable portion of the population struggling to meet basic needs and facing the harsh choice between heating and eating, with luxuries remaining a distant dream for many.
Addressing the issue of growing inequality, advocating for a wealth tax and tax system reforms has been a consistent theme. The overwhelming support from three-quarters of the population for a wealth tax underscores the urgency to address economic disparities.
Furthermore, the issue of trust emerges prominently, with many expressing skepticism towards the government’s responsiveness but placing faith in local leaders who better comprehend community needs and challenges. This underscores the importance of amplifying grassroots voices at the highest levels of decision-making.
Central to my life’s mission is combatting the climate crisis, a challenge acknowledged by the majority as a real and human-induced threat demanding urgent action. The shift to Net Zero emissions garners significant support, despite concerns about associated costs, emphasizing the need to prioritize sustainability for long-term energy security and economic stability.
The insights gathered from this extensive survey are envisioned to shape the trajectory of our nation, starting with a responsive and attentive government that heeds the diverse perspectives and aspirations of its citizens. The heart of the Britain I cherish beats with resilience and hope, a sentiment echoed resoundingly in our Giga Poll results.
