Yeah that was before basic human rights and "civil" civilisation.
We dont need to go back to that, but we can do much better than what we have now mate.
Which is MPs who get all kinds of monetary benefits from being in politics from expenses to 2nd and 3rd jobs which in many cases are a conflict of interests.
The system has been rigged for so long for those who are involved in it mate.
I dont pretend to have an alternative I'm not that guy. But perhaps change the whole conflict of interest thing from the core, by that I mean don't pay MPs 80k a year, pay them the average wage and then maybe bonuses based on fulfilling manifesto promises for example?
How about we make it against the law for MPs to have 2nd jobs.
Get rid of most of the things they can claim expenses for currently. It's a fuking piss take if not a bare faced insult.
Then you may find the caliber of people who chose to go into politics aren't a bunch of blood sucking public shool ****s who thing 90% of the people they are supposed to serve are scum who can freeze and starve.
Maybe the people who go I to that kind of politics actually ate genuinely caring people who want to do good things for other people and their communities.
But nah thats crazy right ?
That's supposed to be the Labour party.
If they could find an actual proper labour leader with an actual manifesto they should clean up in the current environment.
says the bloke from Merthyr!
