1. Ban Billionaire Media.
2. Ban payments to Politicians.
3. Legally binding Manifestos with automatic elections if broken.

32% benefitted 29.2m basic rate (20%) taxpayers.
68% went to higher and additional rate (40% and 45%) tax payers.
Equalizing tax relief at 20% to all, leaves govt £14.5bn spare to alleviate poverty.
