A self-pitting.
It’s looking like we’re going to have a General Election this year. Gordon Brown and the Labour Party would be fools to not call one, what with Dave Cameron’s Conservatives being quite the current disaster area. So there’s me, with plenty of freeable time, with a MP with whom I am not exactly enthused, and some good (I think) policy ideas (based mainly around trade).
But I’m moving away from the area. :smack: :smack: :smack:
You’ve got a deposit you want to lose, do you?
I don’t understand the problem. You’re moving into an electorate that doesn’t have an MP you want to vote out? Or in? Or something?
Or replace
I’m moving out of an electorate whose MP I would not mind replacing.
I can spare £1000. And why shouldn’t I speak up about my views and give the electorate a chance to vote for them? That’s what democracy’s about.
Is England a democracy? Never quite understood the system there.
England’s a parliamentary democracy, meaning that essentially the leader of the party with the majority of seats in the House of Commons (more or less our House) or the leader of the biggest party of a coalition that has the majority is in charge of the government. More than that I can’t say, as most of my knowledge comes from reading a Canadian webcomic, thus at least two times removed from England’s government.
What?!?
What’s your idea of a democracy?
