Rupert_Baehr Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Apparently, the majority of input from the public has been not to suggest laws that they want repealed, but to suggest new laws they want introduced. There was an article about this in the Times yesterday - to which I cannot link since the Times website is now pay-only. What are the odds that the majority of the new laws people would like to see introduced are laws which would prevent somebody else from doing something?

Grandad.Malky Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 How about the law that allows the one that came 2nd to try and get the one that came 3rd to join with them to stop the one that came 1st from being in power? How would that happen when the one that came second decided to stand by its principles and not entertain any “pact” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esme Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I suggested one to fine MP's who behave as if they are at a chimps tea party and eventually send them home for re election as not fit for purpose if they persist the other suggestion was to abolish the wash up process I can't see either of them getting anywhere, as soon as a moderator sees them then they'll go in the bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 What are the odds that the majority of the new laws people would like to see introduced are laws which would prevent somebody else from doing something? No betting, because most of the one the Times article mentioned were exactly that. "New law to prevent people parking outside other people's homes" was a popular one. Of the ones who actually did write in and suggest laws that could be repealed, the chap who wanted the abolition of incest and bestiality laws will probably not have his wish granted.

They would have to talk if only to disagree , obviously Cameron was prepared to bend over backwards to accommodate Clegg something Brown wasn’t about to do.

Some Labour people were detailed to discuss with the Lib-Dems the possibility of coalition, whether and how Clegg would be prepared to enter one; while others discussed whether or not it would be a good thing for Labour. The conclusion of the latter discussion was that it would not, which rendered the former discussion irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckerslike Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Why not go the whole hog and ask for the return of the feudal system or slavery If you think that is a good idea then you are free to put it forward as a suggestion. I just think if a companies work force do not want to work they are free to withdraw their labour. In such instances the company should be allowed to take on new people who are prepared to do the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
