Do you not think the Pirate Party image could be improved? I dislike wearing suits, but I wouldn't wear a hoodie for professional marketing shots.

Personally, it's damn refreshing to see someone standing for political office who dresses like I do on a daily basis. Traditional shots of politicians wearing suits when they visit schools or offices just makes them look like a separate class rather than another ordinary person who just wants to make things better.

Such as? "Red tape" is such a generic term. For example, I'm glad there's health and safety legislation that protects me from being hurt in an accident at work and that employment law exists so that I can't be sacked for no reason.

Conversely, the relentless drive towards private-finance initiatives and outsourcing results in a situation where it costs thousands of pounds to install a Christmas tree in a hospital needs to be ended, in my opinion.
