The chapter delves into a party's contract aiming for a smaller state with lower taxes, exploring the feasibility of proposed tax cuts and spending pledges. It highlights concerns about the challenges in balancing the revenue to support ambitious promises like eliminating waiting lists in the NHS, raising questions about the capacity of the healthcare system and the necessity for additional funding and personnel. The chapter also raises doubts about proposed policies such as cutting benefits for missed job interviews, reducing the welfare budget, and implementing a net zero migration policy with a migrant tax, discussing their potential impacts on various sectors and questioning their feasibility compared to other political parties' proposals.
