I’d have thought that’s pretty obvious.
No shit!
How very democratic of you.A period of silence from the large percentage of the population that benefitted from mass employment, decent pensions, free education and low house prices would be most welcome.
Making the HoL elected by PR is a good moveThe compromise is you flip the HoL to PR, hold the elections two years after a parliamentary election, allow it to have delaying powers and suggest modifications to bills, but is unable to stop them ultimately.
Then all marginal (including the unsavoury) voices get heard, but people still get local representation (which is the benefit of our current system, it's easy to know who to contact to take up your cause).
Totally irrelevant, definitely won’t come back to bite them on their arses.
What? it's simply the average pay rise people get per year and is it higher than inflation.please don’t confuse me even more
Its No wonder economies collapse, it’s all smoke and mirrors,
I know that, silly. It was the relevance to the post about banking that confused me.What? it's simply the average pay rise people get per year and is it higher than inflation.
It's been highlighted because the turn out was much lower this time than predicted.
If they had asked that sample why they had voted Labour, 80% would have said they hadn’t.That's a very different question to 'why did you vote for Labour?'
Also people can want both of those things (I certainly did!), they certainly aren't mutually exclusive.
I would have agreed but the last Tory government appointees are still fresh in my mind, and their parliamentary party was even worse.FPTP has it's drawbacks, however it does mostly keep crackpot/extremist candidates and parties out of elected office
it's a good appointment and an encouraging act by Labour that they're not going to go down appeasing the hang em flog em brigadeThe new justice minister
Oh my dare we hope for an evidenced based approach?
This could save billions
also valance
dare we believe the age of experts and evidence and enlightenment is upon us and blind faith and prejudice has been found wanting
and as for those who say would he trust people in his workplace read about timpsons
It’s where he’s nuanced and one has to win that argument otherwise it’s billions down the drainit's a good appointment and an encouraging act by Labour that they're not going to go down appeasing the hang em flog em brigade
I disliked the last government but compared to the NF/BNP they were Saints if you get my driftI would have agreed but the last Tory government appointees are still fresh in my mind, and their parliamentary party was even worse.
I don't hate the idea, I just don't see why working hard should pay for that. I'd love a fairer society, but workers seem to get bashed at both ends of the spectrum. I cant justify freeloaders, but equally happy to pay for those who genuinely cant work. Also extra money doesn't always mean extra staff or better services. If it did I doubt most would complain, but there's a lot of waste in public funds and it goes as much or more to administrators as front line staff. I think therefore there's a perception that people don't want to help, but in reality a number who simply begrudge feeling their contribution isn't valued.There's a really weird thing is this country where a large percentage of the population seem to hate the idea that things improve for anyone else.
Hmm, think that's playing it wrong really. Think it's clear that, for whatever reason (can't see it myself, but others can!) he has a cult of personality that persuades people to vote for things they otherwise wouldn't If he hangs around there's an issue. If he doesn't, then it's the unlikely chance they find another charismatic frontman.Interesting.
I think some joker has switched the L & N on on your keyboardhe has a cult of personality
Most of them are dead.A period of silence from the large percentage of the population that benefitted from mass employment, decent pensions, free education and low house prices would be most welcome.

Yeah I was talking to someone I know, and he was telling me he voted reform. I asked what policies he liked, he said he didn't know any, he just likes Farage. He also liked Boris Johnson.Hmm, think that's playing it wrong really. Think it's clear that, for whatever reason (can't see it myself, but others can!) he has a cult of personality that persuades people to vote for things they otherwise wouldn't If he hangs around there's an issue.

All we need now is a Starmer photo with a pint and nine flags.Shoulda won in ninety though!?
We haven't ruled over shit since before ww2It’s more those that had those things because they lived in a country that until recently had ran half the planet, shouldn’t be whining about the next generations finding ways to live better that don’t rely on having an economy bigger than China.
