Hi risk Anus has a certain 'ring' to it......

It is very much one man's view of things.
Yes, I do believe that now everyone has a vote they don't have to just accept all decisions handed down by unqualified people acting out of self interest.

What is it about a parliamentary system you don't get?

Apart from that we don't elect a president in the UK

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Everyone can have shortcomings, bear the responsibility for them and suffer the consequences. In the case of MPs that includes losing their job as a consequence of us doing ours.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Did you vote for him, then, against Truss, Willo?

Yes you are right, maybe it's the system that is wrong , but as you say in a parliamentary democracy with fixed terms you could not impose a system that if a leader resigns the party holding the majority is somehow forced to surrender that majority to an election.

I do however find it amusing that the Tory members are now bleating about a lack of democracy when they don't like the candidate the very arguement they dismissed when made by the other parties when the last new PM was appointed.

It remains to be seen what the new guy does, we need some action as parliament has been paralysed by in fighting now for months
