      I know what you are saying shiney.
      But, how would you sort out our voting system?

      So that the party in government has the most votes, rather than the pretty poor "democratic" way it is done now.

      We need the amount, and parties of the MPs to actually represent the vote, unlike it is now.
      As far as I'm concerned the way things are at the moment its almost criminal.

      If it was happening like this in Africa it would be classed as corrupt or fixed.

          Well yes, unless someone can come up with a different but fairer way, than we use now, of making sure the actual government reflects the voting .

              Perhaps we can banish him to some far off foreign place then?:biggrin:

              Think he would be best used feeding the no 10 cat.

                      All these high profile resignations. They all need replacing. But those resigning, don't they have a notice period just like us mere peasants?

                        Looks like their notice period was similar to mine a few weeks back - long enough to clear personal effects from the office.....
