Yes for the love of God stop David Cameron from privatising everything and leaving the poor destitute...?????? or however many ? your tag has... Lower figures of unemployment are partly because of people going self employed, and not necessarily earning more than the unemployed due to economic instability and not many people spending....

You may think so, the lib dems may think so, but the vast majority of the electorate couldn't give a damn either way.

Well... Loosely speaking, a Vindaloo in one Indian restaurant is much the same as any other Indian restaurant.


Sometimes it's nice to have a change.

So the system works because the vast majority don't give a damn? Interesting view of democracy.

The system works because we wouldn't be here today in a stable democracy which has produced stable majority government for most of the last century. The fact there isn't appetite amongst the populus for electoral reform speaks volumes too. I can understand why it would upset supporters of a minor party, but I think that's a good price to pay for stable Government (most of the time).

I agree Louisa. Electoral reform is not the subject of the title.

I have a daughter at university ( 2012) intake and the first to have paid the increased fees.

According to her there are plenty of students voting, good for them. They are exercising their democratic right to vote for the first time in their lives.

Use your vote, don't complain about the consequences if you don't .

      The Mansion Tax

      By DuncanW · Posted

      I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

      The Mansion Tax

      By beansprout · Posted

      Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….

      Buying loft from Southwark Council

      By milka234 · Posted

      Hello! I’m considering buying the demise for the loft-space above my flat (facing the classic renovate or move scenario for an additional bedroom or 2). Has anyone had recent experience of buying the demise from Southwark? Interested to know how they’re handling the premium/valuation.  thanks!
