Yeah I think it was student fees

One of the compromises to share power, demanded by guess who..

Anyway, in terms of tactical voting that can work, as N Shrop shows.

and at the moment it's a numbers game in our first past the post system.

That Tory / Lib Dem coalition was **** btw

Shhite?

It was fooking disaster.

Central Govt should be responsible for defence and making ****s pay their ****ing dues - all of them.

Beyond that, most issues are ultimately local imo. If our local schools are falling down we shouldn’t have to wait for central Govt to recognise it, we should be able to allocate our share of the tax pot locally. I’m sick to the back teeth of centralised ****e and issues being used as political footballs, give the power back to regions to make their own decisions.

Sounds like you need to move to the people's republic of Cornwall mate

Don’t get me wrong currently most local councillors and the like are absolute ****ers, so it’d need a massive hike in standards of who gets the gig, but as a principle I’m all for decentralisation rather than regions begging to Westminster and competing for the same funds, ****ing stinks.

Yes its was

They were never going to be able to deliver it tho, Corbyn promised the same thing and when questioned about it after the Election he seemed confused about wether he actually promised or where the funding would have come from

All lying bastards

Corbyn and McDonnell proposed to raise huge taxes on the rich to pay for public services

They actually talked openly about ending the rigged system that screws the ordinary folk

Got Boris though...

There's so much more than just that though. Legislature for example is a massive part of central government and what many of us look to vote for as much as things like taxes, the economy, nationwide public sector services such as the NHS, police, education.

On the latter, I appreciate some of the infrastructure of these things e.g. schools, hospitals can be better managed at local level but the overall direction and oversight is still needed at a central level.

Most of the parochial local town council stuff is riddled with old codgers who are just volunteering their time,
but the system is sound enough for a massive shift to devolved powers

Why does it? Why do we need new policing bills? a bill on voter ID? a new bill on dinghies? we ****ing don’t. The NHS is a huge monolith, and so it’s currently run by local CCG’s anyway, so it’s already decentralised to a large extent.

Well not on those things you mentioned no, but there is other legislature which is needed. And much of that comes down to party political ideology. The direction of the laws we make depends on national social, economic, security issues which in turn is based on that ideology. That's a big part of what people vote for, and going back to the discussion on parliamentary elections and porportional representation, that's what any decent setup would be looking to make more effective and productive. I don't see it as a good thing that those things should lack cooperation.
