Because then the political parties can't parachute inexperienced candidates into safe seats so that:

1. The new candidate gets elected in a safe seat and learns the ropes of political life as an MP.

2. More experienced candidates can be deployed to marginal constituencies to contest the seat.

Yeah she's one for the pub quiz.

About the only use she is, aside from discrediting any policy suggestions that come out of the Institute for Economic Affairs (i.e. the Tuffton Street Twats).

IMO it should be further than that.

Open source software is, more often than not, used as digital infrastructure.

Governments around the world should absolutely be investing in open source software and actively contributing to it.

And that folks is how you keep the Tories in power.

Full Sugar Tory or Diet Tory.

One is definitely worse for your health.

Vote tactically and then harass the shit out of your MP to implement voting reform. Organise marches for voter reform.

That's the only way, short of armed revolution, you'll get any policies other than Blairite or Thatcherism into parliament.

What part of "Publicly Owned" is privatising the profit?

Read the fucking article.

You don't get punished for not doing your job as an MP. Just ask John Stonehouse.

It should be. The UK political system needs urgent and humongous reform before further trust in the democratic institutions withers away.

And here we see another example of art predicting life

Paywall Removed Here

I take it you're the one true Scotsman?

And that's how you get another 10 years of Tories or a Tory-Reform coalition government.

Speaking as a British person,

If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:

Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.

I'm serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:

1. They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.

2. The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.

3. The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they're an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don't have a dickhead to deal with, they're having a good chat.

Edit:

Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I'm of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.

Mate, you've clearly never had proper shortbread if you're putting it in C tier.

Get your sen up to Scotland and have some nice buttery crumbling shortbread.
