British Politics: The Future

December

So, Dave wants me to join him does he? I appear to be his target audience, a sometime Lib Dem who believes it’s more important to defeat New Labour than to continue the old rivalries. He’s saying the right things, I remain to be convinced if he’s doing them. But, well, I’m not convinced that joining his party is for me. Scratch that, I refuse to consider it. He wants an end to petty point scoring in politics? Fine, let’s talk. Openly, honestly, and with a perspective on both history, the future and on how things work. (more…)


The Police reforms: give your views

It’s not often I disagree with Nosemonkey, but I’ll take issue with this statement:

This should technically just be for Londoners, as I am, although nowhere does it seem to say this. I’ll leave it up to you provincials/non-Brits to decide for yourselves whether you should take part as well.

I’ve made my decision.

  1. I visit London regularly, it’s the national capitol
  2. At some point I plan to move there, and have many friends already living there
  3. Where the Met leads, the rest of the country follows

The Met wants to know what sort of police service we should have. Go read his post, then fill out the form he links to. Tell them what you think. It’s not just for Londoners, it’s for everyone in the UK. We visit there, and our police will follow the lead of the Met if it’s percieved to have worked.
