Something has to change!
My ideal? - no political parties,they should be banned!
Power should be devolved to local level for all local issues.
National Government should be reserved for :
- Defence of the Realm
- International relations
- Co-ordination, but not control, of health, education and civil order
It should not get involved in local issues
The reality?
Although I have to grit my teeth to say it, the French system has some merit - a two round system with the two winners having a play-off .
However, the current system whereby a small minority of voters can bring in a Government with a large majority stinks. Evry vote must count and a proportional system is the only way.
