Absolute corrupt filth.
Good, short term pain for long term gain.Hmm, but will he lose the contest or win and be unassailable for a year?
He can do what he wants for a short period of time. The rebalanced is coming.
This is truly horrifying isn't it?Jesus. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.
The apathy and political ignorance that they have managed to engineer over the years has given them Carte Blanche to do what ever they so please.
What a tragic mess we are in.
Desperate times.
Fabio, I don't entirely agree that we are in a mess. I think some good could come from this. Electoral reform is a must and it is more likely now than in 2019Jesus. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.

You are of course right that we are in a dark place right now. All of his actions are triggering a change of attitude in the electorate that may well last for a decade or more.I hope you are right but given we have now reached a point where the man in charge is capable of changing the rules to ensure he doesn’t have to follow the same ones anymore, or can break them without consquence beyond simply saying ‘soz’, I think we are in a very dark place.
How far will he go to protect his power? What else can they change on a whim, before we get to a point when electoral reform can occur?
It’s very worrying.
I thnk we've already had it.What I do agree with, but you didn't say, is that if the tories win the next election, it will be the last democratic election we will have.
Ministerial aide resigns.

Voter ID will be in force at the next GE. Add to that the gerry-mandering that is ongoing and the net election will be a mockery of democracy.
My biggest fear

In a month or two another change will be made, viz: in order to align and make consistent the sanctions for breaking the code the requirement to resign will be removed. It may be replaced by a requirement for the minister to 'consider his/her position'.Apparently the changes may not be as bad as first feared, in the sense that the biggie, resignation if misleading Parliament, is still in there -
