Less than 4 time of population support Conservatives had 320+ seats
(Hence people were fed up and teh fisrt time they can vote against David Cameron - they did.
First past the post was kept as the AV+ or proportional representation system was downvoted in a referendum - I voted FPTP
(Berxit referendum)
Also there is a problem with English representation in UK politics. Devoluton created regional control of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, but where is the one for England?
You see the rise of English identification in the 2011 Cenus (and the loss of British)
Only reason we had brexit vote was Cameron went to the EU for an update on our position (came back with fuck all) - that split the conservatives so to decide it was put to a vote or farage might have won if nothing was done
Sure, one reason he did teh referendum is to stop the loss of voters to teh UKIP.
@KarasuKafka I agree about England’s position - we should have regional assemblies too
Also probably more than one regional assembly.
Aye norf and south
London has too much power due it's economical strength.
New York is the same
Probably some division of South East and West too.
London is a very dark place
Aye Lancashire and Yorkshire are two different worlds (it’s said those who have kids across county lines have sterile mule children)
Cornwall would suffer if whole South under one umbrella.
Cornwall are celts genetically
@Muad'Dib So I am not talking here about immigration, but I just heard it recently, need to read of the details. But there is a relic of London's council (local) election system I believe.
And that is companies and businesses has voting rights of seats of the city council too.
Not sure the proportion.
Oh yes there is a lot of very sketchy financial history to London
Or what qualifies as a body to vote.
London has been a free city since William the conquer needed their consent to rule - everything beyond was filed out to his buddies
It is a medieval age heritage.
Yep as rick said.
So that definietly contributes of London's political landscape.
Not sure how much, agan, I will have to read the details.
I just get the impression that there is a power behind the throne so to speak\
They have hold overs (like the Lord Mayor not the mayor of London)
2 Separate offices and guys
@Rick Turpin I see.Now would be interesting to see the duties and executive powers between these different bodies.
The normans also kept out shire system and sheriffs (most are now ceremonial in nature not the USA sheriffs who do hands on stuff)
I wonder if they're also masons
More than likely
most police departments in the USA seem to have a lodge affiliation
from what i've heard
The sheriff should be the “cleanest whistle” as they are an ancient local custom (that became a major staple of USA law enforcement) unlike other offices this was locally appointed
