Wonder which one of our youngsters they'll crock this year?

But is it better when a party not convincing even half the country to vote for them are given carte blanche to push through whatever they like? That's why i want two houses elected using different methods as you then get the benefits (and disadvantages) of both. One thing I do think about is...

No apologies

Not if there are other punishments put in place with restorative justice.

You've gone down in my ITK rankings. How the hell can a source fuck up spelling McCallum so badly?

All those things you mention were only let through because the metrics told them it was just too unpopular. Gay marriage was opposed by them for years, people like Hunt have been arguing for a US based healthcare system for years and have snuck privatisation in everywhere - it's just they know...

What stops people committing crime in the first place? A society that has a more equal distribution of wages as well as fairer access to decent education and removal of economic barriers like class. Secondly access to services such as mental health so issues can be caught before they become a...

But there the lack of deterrent is not not going to prison, it's that it's not likely to get investigated at all. We've had prison for more than donkey's years and it hasn't stopped re-offending either. Whereas other countries not that far from here take a completely different view and their...

Also got Rachel now in the development squad.

Just a slight improvement

Getting around baggage checks, eh ;)

Because prisons aren't shown to be much of a deterrent and leads to a high percentage of reoffending. In some cases prisons are basically seen as criminal gang recruitment centres. People who get drawn further and further into that world for what started out as minor offences. Things like...

For me I don't think I'd want the entire thing to be PR, but at the same time I think it needs to be reflected somewhere in the govt. I'm no fan of transferable voting as it just seems everyone ends up with someone they didn't really want. Hence why I like FPTP for constituency MP's and PR for a...

I thought it was more a comment on her political position. Enoch but worse.

But it can be looked at differently. I've already had a few people say "well they only won four seats so we don't need to worry about them'. And that's what increases their popularity until all of sudden they ARE getting elected and you're left wondering "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!" It's a warning...

It's called that cos they can magically find money down the back of the SOFR

Especially as politicians seem to spend loads of time in their subsidised bars. On a similar note I once had a boss who went golfing pretty much every day. But hey, that's fine. He's 'networking'.

Wood I understand. Why burn it first?

The thing with Reform was none of their immigration policy made any sense as a joined up coherent strategy. Even if we ignore the fact they were going to exclude the biggest reason for immigration (health and social care workers) and basically 'stop the boats;, which accounts for something like...

Well ,considering the Spectator (a very Tory sympathising publication)said that using the criteria/assumptions Sunak was to say Labour would put up taxes, the Tories would have gone up even more. So you should be happy that your taxes aren't going up more under a Tory govt. And if you want...
