Just how many of the employed actually work???Tax payers are a minority in Scotland.
Or better still do constructive work???

Voting restricted to tax payers and a ban on lobbying by anyone or anything other than a voter who can only lobby on his own behalf.Is that process democracy? What’s the solution?
oh, and MP's to be drawn from people who have worked in a tax paying job for 10 years minimum.
What that really solve anything, it would drive even shorter term thinking and leave all the long term difficult stuff ignored.. meanwhile China, russia, et al, they plan 10, 20, 30, 50 years down the line.This ^^^^^^^^^^^ 101%
Make voting compluslory
Make every ballot paper have a None of the above candidate
10 + years of Italian style chaos but it would force ALL political parties to up their game in my view if they knew they couldn't depend on the vote
I have said it here many times, anyone who demonstrates any wish to be a prime minister or a president should be immediately disqualified from the role for life, in future I will add, on the grounds of them being narsissistic arseholes.I'm not sure a 'Jury service' type lottery is the solution the country needs.
But then again, part of the current problem is that those who seek election and power over others tend to be narcissistic arseholes...
I've got flat feet! Does that mean no vote??Military service should be a requirement to vote or work in a public paid job.
I think the oppositeWhat that really solve anything, it would drive even shorter term thinking and leave all the long term difficult stuff ignored.. meanwhile China, russia, et al, they plan 10, 20, 30, 50 years down the line.
Changing the 'frame' will not change the picture. All we need are men who seek the truth no matter where it may lead and regardless of costs, but they are ghosts of a bygone era now.I think the opposite
I also am on record many times on here; halve the number of MPs or more, double their salary, prohibit outside interests other than professional volunteering , give a Senator type executive office to each to support their work, cut the massive holidays back to 4 weeks like the rest of us, holiday to be taken for electioneering / conferences
Move HoC to Birmingham or ideally Holyrood to shoot the SNP Fox . De-heat Southern England, turn current HoC in to the museum it really is
Cross party committees and governance to get long term strategy done and if not then plenty of pundits and experts will express an opinion and get them sacked pronto
Yes that sounds like a much better systemI think the opposite

There’d be plenty of them still about I reckon, it’s just there is absolutely no room for them, the truth is currently being legislated against.Changing the 'frame' will not change the picture.

I watched the video on facebook, my partner thinks I believe in conspiracy theories, seeing all big government as bad and the government are in a cabal with multinational corporations and billionaires to disenfranchise the people (and first of all yeoman farmers or kulaks).
Oh yes indeed, and not just as an "adviser" In Central Office...oh, and MP's to be drawn from people who have worked in a tax paying job for 10 years minimum.

Hereditary peers. Feels wrong, but the Uk did do very well with them.Is that process democracy? What’s the solution?
