We need a judicial inquiry into everything behind the referendum, the electoral fraud and the actions of the Government over the past three years and we need to start the process, involving every political party, independent experts and the public, of writing a formal written constitution with binding rules on how the Executive are allowed to act and with oversight etc. Brexit has killed the credibility of our political system stone dead. No single party should ever be allowed to decide the future of everyone on things of this magnitude. They should be required to carry the support of a clear majority of all eligible voters in order to force them to compromise rather than use us all as party political playthings. It's time to leave behind the ancient traditions and nonsense and join the rest of the democratic world in the 21st century. I agree with all of this, particularly the last sentence. The idea that politicians are held to account simply by being voted out at elections no longer cuts the mustard. That's after the damage has been done (and they usually just sail into another high paid job or directorship.) We do ndeed need an enquiry, a constitution, and an overhaul of the system.

The country needs radical change, and they sure as hell won't do it themselves. "Oh but MP for such and such is very good, they've been my MP for years and once helped me with my bins" is exactly the reason corbyn ended up in charge. The first order of business now for all of them at the moment is either clinging on to the job they've got or getting a better one. The country is way down their list of priorities - regardless of how you voted in the referendum or last election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had all sorts of possibilities- he's blown them all. What he's managed to do is absolutely nothing. But yes, if parliament had been doing it's job, why not be in the situation we're in. He's been in parliament for 30 odd years. Sorry jezza, it's not working. It's not us, it's you and your mates. I want 650 new faces.

Fair enough, she's PM. Jeremy Corbyn on the other hand is doing important stuff, but it never gets a mention. People are being encouraged to think he's not doing anything, but that's simply not true.
