Closed A referendum on the ‘Foreign Aid Budget’

Closed on

There are continuous debates on the use of the Foreign Aid Budget, from many different sides. Lets have the people that earn / provide the money decide how it should be used, if we are to have one at all.
I suggest four choices: (5th if we use remaining monies for Elderly Care)

1. Change nothing maintain the 0.7% of GDP on overseas aid
2. Use monies to bring all public workers in line with current inflation; ban the government on using the 0.7% of GDP for anything else & all remaining monies to be ‘Foreign Aid Budget’
3. Use monies to bring all public workers in line with current inflation; ban the government using the 0.7% of GDP all remaining monies to be spent on replacing the EU subsidies, based upon % share of monies provided by the EU
4. No Foreign Aid Budget
