thats half the reason I wanted Corbyn to win the leadership. He certainly shock things up a bit.

2018-06-02 23:15:38 UTC  

That election where ukip got milions of votes and one mp for all the trouble

2018-06-02 23:15:53 UTC  

Was a nice demonstration of it

2018-06-02 23:16:24 UTC  

that's just got to do with the fact that the UK voting system uses districts.

2018-06-02 23:16:37 UTC  

thats why I 'campaigned' for proportional representation when we had the ref on it.

2018-06-02 23:17:26 UTC  

Yeah proportional representation makes much more sense to me

2018-06-02 23:17:42 UTC  

Also abolish house of lords

2018-06-02 23:17:46 UTC  

No

2018-06-02 23:17:49 UTC  

No.

2018-06-02 23:17:49 UTC  

And make senate

2018-06-02 23:17:58 UTC  

have them elected

2018-06-02 23:18:05 UTC  

Why would you keep that lol

2018-06-02 23:18:06 UTC  

10 year terms

2018-06-02 23:18:12 UTC  

Stability, Zutt

2018-06-02 23:18:16 UTC  

Well at least that

2018-06-02 23:18:31 UTC  

Right now its meme institution

2018-06-02 23:18:35 UTC  

's why I'm a fan of monarchies

2018-06-02 23:18:46 UTC  

When you go as reward

2018-06-02 23:19:02 UTC  

At least, ones in which the monarch has some form of actual political power, rather than being a completely ceremonial figurehead.

2018-06-02 23:19:05 UTC  

And have lots of perks and almost no responsibility

2018-06-02 23:19:09 UTC  

yep. crony as fuck

2018-06-02 23:19:18 UTC  

With beeing there for life

2018-06-02 23:19:52 UTC  

I'd personally have the Commons elected proportionally and keep the districts, be it with Single Transferrable Vote, for the Lords

2018-06-02 23:20:36 UTC  

House of Lords is basically the equivalent of the US senate.

2018-06-02 23:20:37 UTC  

You need someone in the position of head of state.

2018-06-02 23:20:49 UTC  

Also it has become apparent that you can buy lordship with party donations

2018-06-02 23:21:01 UTC  

That's what monarchies are good for. Raised from birth to be a head of state.

2018-06-02 23:21:01 UTC  

Ryecast no it isnt

2018-06-02 23:21:24 UTC  

I mean from a political structure stance

2018-06-02 23:21:37 UTC  

Yeah kind off

2018-06-02 23:21:38 UTC  

the whole two houses thing

2018-06-02 23:21:49 UTC  

frankly, the Senate needs tweaking too.

2018-06-02 23:21:51 UTC  

Term limits!

2018-06-02 23:22:14 UTC  

I don't agree on temr limits if you are elected.

2018-06-02 23:22:21 UTC  

Term limits, maybe. Age limits, defnitely. Enforced average national wage payment, absolutely.

2018-06-02 23:23:13 UTC  

Its complicated with wages but i would be for more transparency

2018-06-02 23:23:15 UTC  

I don't agree with that either. You want the ppl that are making desition for your country to be looked after. Less likely to take back handers.

2018-06-02 23:23:37 UTC  

Complete lack of privacy in their communications, also yes.

2018-06-02 23:23:42 UTC  

Same for their bank accounts.

2018-06-02 23:23:57 UTC  

British politics need much more transparency imo

2018-06-02 23:24:00 UTC  

their pay is fuck all in a big ship.
