Musket BS: From someone who rarely starts threads (165* d) RE: BS: From someone who rarely starts threads 06 May 15


We are a UK. I have no issue whatsoever with MPs from Scotland or Surrey voting on national affairs. Neither are within 200 miles of me but conversely my local MP is the same distance to them.

The problem, as Tartan Tam pointed out years ago, is where legislation being voted on does not affect the constituency of the MP voting to the extent that completely different legislation may be in place where that MP sits.

It is a dog's dinner and to ensure Westminster is relevant, areas of England would need regional assemblies, which as tax payers know too well, judging by the size of the car parks in Leith, Cardiff and Belfast, not cheap...

In the meantime, mealy mouthed scare bollocks from Cameron, Akenaton and Farage are the cost of flawed democracy.
