Our new Prime Minister, pretty boy Cameron has talked about reducing the number of MP's in the House of Commons. Not before time in myopinion. I have written about it ages ago but God knows where. The USA is far from perfect but numbers wise it makes more sense:
Population : 307m
Represenatives : 435
Senators : 100
And what do we have?
Population : 61m
MP's : 650
Lords : 736 (and that doesn't count the hereditary ones who were kicked out)
We don't need to have an inquiry or a Royal Commission on this. Let me run it. Target 400 MP's (which is generous) and 100 Lords. Put all the names into 4 hats. Why 4? Well we don't want to have an accident and end up with all the Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish one's escaping. The axe must fall there too, big time. And anyway, they are all so fond of their proportionality stuff so now they'll get it.
Then I take the names out of the hats one by one and announce 'OK Sid Smith, you're fired.' Course I would add around 100 extra Harriet Harman tickets just to make sure she has no fucking chance. Any arguments from any of them and their pay would be halved tomorrow.
I'll be generous though. I'd give them 6 months notice to allow the Electoral Commission time to redraw the boundaries before I closed the Electoral Commission.
Dunno how much cash this will save but at least we'd have to put up with a lot less yap.
