We need FPTP gone, we need a different method of funding parties and we need the media tackling.
This is really what needs to happen.
In the the last 5-6, especially the last two years the “Good Chaps” idea of government has been totally blown out of the water by the present, rotating leadership crew. There is no restraints on the administration.
They’re are in the process of creating a one party state….and restraining the judiciary from any involvement, in law, of overturning any law which they deem good for the state.
There have been so many things that occurred which couldn’t not have happened if we had.
An encoded constitution
A bill of rights
A Supreme Court overseeing those things
STV voting arrangements. That ensures everybody’s vote, including the lesser parties counts and are represented
Everyone’s allegiance is to that constitution. Not to some family with a big house on the Mall
It’s grown up governance. Our present constitutional arrangements are designed to avoid democracy rather enhance it.
The country always seemingly in the top 3 happiest people in the world stuff…are the Danes.
Last time I looked they had a government containing 9 parties, some in various involvement in coalition.
Our system is very obviously broken…
