A wicked extravagance, feeding the electorate when they came to talk back in 2009. They should have brought the cake If only McVities had lost the case, it’s fine to give voters biscuits Edited by Mapletree (30 Mar 2019 10.11am)

Well, yes. The Donald either with our ex-chairman or the “glamour model” could produce a regular Outspan.

Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Mar 2019 9.50am) Good thinking Then only the worthy who are able to support themselves could be leaders A great way to ensure the voice of the people is heard JRM appears to pay himself for four researchers and an office manager. I am sure it gives him an advantage If only every MP was worth over £100m.

Positions of leadership should be based on the highest IQs and allegiance.......Whereas these are only very indirect requirements in reality. And popularity should be a contributing factor not the most important. But this is moving away from democracy, which is a bit uncomfortable. However I can see that democracy.... will ultimately be the end of itself.
