Salt n Vinegar Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 11 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: Even the most strident advocates of Parliamentary democracy must have their beliefs tested when they watch these sort of clips. I know what you mean, but it's a pretty strange concept of democracy when it has a chamber which includes in its membership hundreds of unelected members, 90-odd folk who are there because of who their parents were and 26 folk who are there because of their position in a church. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, but he’s likely talking about Kim Leadbetter’s graduated license bill - won’t have time to pass before Parliament’s dissolved tho - https://uk.news.yahoo.com/driving-licence-changes-could-affect-091839504.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMNiyeZV96DEt3bA_aRUUx6SDW27cWnzOAU5VL5yiyBNWpMQ4qskCD-ZK5W90fn2FvxQY0cJITVArxywdOkQBPDvrmLqYJWjEztzeEStcO_tN4RJmf-dDv7loM9RExFHdj72qo673T4IK1MhYSxtWKIaNImJcF6JqVAz2tI7terD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 2 hours ago, JS_FFC said: This place is full of roasters Vox Pops are always miserably depressing. The answers from Tories are always either "I dunno anything about it, but they're good and the other lot are bad, even though I have absolutely no reason for thinking so", or "they need to punish the coloureds and poors more so I feel better about my situation". Meanwhile, they're all gradually worse off and blaming people with no power for it. Wouldn't have surprised me if it turned out that the sensible bloke in that clip had finished with "...but, of course, I'll have to vote Conservative because imagine if Starmer got in". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's popular in Islington and seems to have been a good MP. You'd have thought it would be a Canavan situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The first woman is the worst roaster of the lot. At least the other woman had the guts to admit Brexit has been a mistake and the two guys made some decent points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Pops are moronic. They interview two people in Kirkcaldy. "I'm voting for this party." "I'm voting for that party." "As you can see folks, the vote in Kirkcaldy is split 50-50". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
