The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
hypochondriac replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
You'd allow for that by making the threshold high enough that you wouldn't have it happening all the time and you'd have a period where it wouldn't be allowed once you'd called one and it was unsuccessful. If strength of feeling was high enough and your failure big enough then it would be easier to remove you. -

I'd make it so that constituents can initiate a recall petition with a certain number of signatures. Once a threshold is met you're out. -

Obviously not. -

Make recall petitions easier when you've lost the trust of the electorate. Personal I find it mental that any party can get to power through a manifesto that they largely junk and then do loads of other stuff they had never spoken about prior to getting into power and using their elected mandate as justification. -

Surely you have a much more rigorous process and make it much easier to get rid of people not doing a competent job. Frankly I don't care if someone is in it for the money if the job they do is excellent. If they get rich of the back of serious success for the country then everyone wins. -

Agree with that. MPs should be much much more competent and more highly paid. -

As always with every single opposition party, they'll vote against a bill because of the implications or because it's not how they would handle it and then the people in charge will accuse them of wanting to see starving kids or dead grannies. It's very irritating but that's politics for you whoever is in charge. It's one reason I had a bit of respect for Andy Burnham in local politics when he praised the Conservatives for doing something he thought was a good idea. I'd like more of that on both sides quite frankly but tbf labour have done an absolute shed load of bad stuff over the last year. -

Yeah proper shit were the conservatives. Not sure it makes what Labour are doing -or not doing-any better though. -

It was a slightly flippant comment. Absolutely not anti labour whatever they do by the way. You'll see a few examples on this very thread where I've praised them when they've done well. The problem is they are few and far between for obvious reasons. -

They won't be launching much in that case! -
Note the word hopefully.

Hopefully the last time we ever see him in a Saints shirt and the last time we have to talk about him.
-
Looks like a used car ad.
-
We strengthen Qpr with Edwards whilst weakening stoke. Giveth and taketh away.
-
Do you accept that statistically he is one of the worst if not the worst keeper in the league ?
-
This is either untrue in which case it's an insult and ridiculous or it is true and we are a joke for signing him. Could well be that he was signed just to appease the fans with no idea of his actual condition.
-
TBF he really made the role of effeminate, closet 70s gay his own.
-
Most things that Daniel day Lewis is in. Remarkable actor.
-
I miss the support from when we got relegated to league one the last time. Consistently great home and away. One that stood out was Plymouth at home where we sang oh when the saints non stop for about half an hour.
-
I'm inclined to agree. We don't routinely concede goals late in games.
-
I accept the opposition is lower but who could have guessed we change formation and look a lot better. What a shock.
-
I'll reserve judgement until we know if this is 4 or 5.
-
I wouldn't overthink it. It's just a nice looking shirt commemorating when we won a trophy. Very expensive but will appeal to some people.
-
I would add we get knocked out or win in an unimpressive fashion.
-
They didn't buy Tella or livramento.
