The only justification for not doing this is protectionism. Starmer is placing party above country. We can see how damaging the Tories are. I do not want to see their likes again.

    Good post. I also think citizen assemblies need to be used more. Also majors.

    We clearly now need a way of dealing with local MPs when they go rogue. No just when they don’t do the job, but also when they change party or get kicked out.

    I’d also get rid of the whole three line whip thing. Least for local MPs. Free them for complete compliance with the party. Put a tension between them and party.

    The reason I like Mixed Member PR is the keeping of local MPs. It’s used in Germany and New Zealand.

    The monarchy I’d deal with separately. Let a proper democratic bed in first. The monarchy is always one bad monarch away from reform anyway.
