    Bet getting a job in UK is difficult. My wife has been applying since January. Must have applied for 100s online or sent CVs to local companies. I think we have had 4 replies expressing interest and I think 2 of these were scammers. The jobs did not exist. Even taken to photo copying and distributing CVs by car. No one replies although my wife has 22 years experience of admin in FM and construction.

    This was me for a few years, then along came Covid, followed by a wife and baby.

    But it was a blast while it lasted. Definitely go for it if you get the chance.

    Good news from the ERS.
    https://electoral-reform.org.uk/gov...ote-system-elections-is-a-big-win-for-voters/
    "The government has announced in its English Devolution & Community Empowerment Bill that it will be scrapping First Past the Post (FPTP) for mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections and reinstating the more representative Supplementary Vote (SV) system.
    Since the first elected mayors were created in 2000, and then PCCs in 2012, the elections were held under SV, which gives voters a first and second preference vote. Under the system, if no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote on first preferences, all but the top two candidates are eliminated and their second preferences distributed to the remaining two candidates. The candidate with the most votes once the second preferences have been counted wins.

    The system ensures that the votes of more people count towards the result and candidates secure office with broader backing from their community."
