  • Path needs to have the same benefits for all regardless of income or status
  • Path should not be aimed at benefiting any group or individual over another
  • Path should remove obstacles and worries for all
  • Path needs to incorporate all putting back into system building a better future
  • Path should be transparent and publicly viewable
  • Path should be put forward united, with parties backing, but independent of both

What people will be facing

  • No job to go back to
  • Job unable to pay as much
  • Jobs offering less, taking advantage of system
  • mortgage/rent
  • electricity
  • internet
