"These people are not fit to tell the country what to do, because they exist in an entirely hermetically-sealed bubble of political consideration and not human experience.” Alice's political hero is Margaret Thatcher, who she met when she was very young. She describes herself as a ‘patriot’ who genuinely cares about the interests of the nation and would like Britain to be more self-sufficient. She also wants to see a revival of British industry and agriculture.
She said: “I’d been labouring under the misapprehension that the government was there to take care of us. I now realise this is a fallacy… they are there to pander to the vested interests, to line their own pockets, and feather their own nests, and are probably at the behest of multinational corporations and lobbyists…”

She said: “National politics should not involve the rough and tumble that it currently does. There is absolutely no reason for us to have, for example, the House of Commons set up in a way that has been designed by Big Brother to be as adversarial as it possibly could be, and to say that that is a demonstration of how we expect people to behave in a council chamber.”
“I think we need to take a more proactive approach to wellbeing. One of the things I’ve noticed about Britain is that being miserable just has us all in a choke-hold. Nobody does anything about it. We don’t have to live like this. We could choose something better," she said."So I’d definitely go down a wellbeing route, but I would like it to be based on neurodivergent inclusion – it’s a massive problem.
