Separate Moan Thread About The Election

I would be very happy with that, except for Reform getting any seats. Does it tell us, who would have the most seats in Scotland?

Re: Angela Rayners 2 houses, added together their value would be less than the value of most Tory MP's summerhouses.

 

I would be happy with that table of results. Lib Dems in second place, helped by Reform. Farage is going to lose interest fairly quickly as a small fish in a big pond, I would think, and without him Reform would struggle at the next GE.

I don't think MPs need to be bright sparks. They need to be a mix of ordinary folk. The Civil Service is there as back up. MPs need to look at the legislation in front of them and decide if it will benefit the majority. I do think they need training in how to scrutinise laws. I would dismantle the Whips role, have no coercion and every MP voting on what they honestly think is right. I would also ban all lobbying.

 

According to Taxpayers’ Alliance 2,759 council bosses received six figure salaries with 721 getting more than £150k. Apparently there was 608 council bosses that salary exceeded that of Rishi Sunak. The managing director of Guilford Borough council was the highest paid at £607,633. So if the bosses of our councils are providing a better service, then they could have a point, I don't.

 

Should’ve happened years ago

Labour to bring in automatic voter registration under plans to boost franchise

 

Doesn't mean they will, but does mean they can if they want to.

 

It isn't hard, but if it can be made easier, especially for people with insecure housing, why not?

 

Votes for 16 year-olds? Good idea or ….?

 

It may not be hard for some of us … but there are several reasons why someone might not be registered … visual impairment might make it more difficult … lack of a settled address is another reason. That’s just two that spring to mind. Being part of a family that has never registered to vote … it could be difficult for an 18 year old to change a familial pattern even if they wanted to.

The more steps it takes to be registered to vote the more difficulties there are in the way for some people.

Whoever could think that it’s ok to make it more difficult tor every adult in the country to be registered to vote?
