Keno's solution to the UK's problems 08:50 - Sep 18 with 418 viewsKeno

for the next 10 years scrap party politics and create a coalition, similar to during the wars years with the specific aims of sorting out issues with State Pension, NHS, Education, Immigration, Transport, policing and getting the third series of Tripods made

These won't be done all the time politics and in particular the desire to win an election in 5 years or less is looming

The "Government' could be formed by policitans, industry experts and leading lights with the country effectively being run by the civil service without the 'help' of ministers who have by and large proved themselves incapable or inept or both but under the guidance of people who know what they are doing.

Thats would be the UK sorted!!

Has not done Germany much harm, having more centralist politics with input from minor parties to stop extreme right and left wing swings

There is precedent for a peacetime coalition formed to deal with an economic crisis.

In 1931, after the fall of his minority Labour administration, Ramsay MacDonald formed a National Government* to deal with the effects of the Great Depression. It won a landslide election that year and was in power (with various changes) until 1937.



* Backed by the Conservatives, along with factions of the Liberals and Labour, plus some independent MPs. MacDonald was formally expelled by the Labour Party for going down this route.

Or change to PR. Everyone's vote counts. MPs have to work together rather than jeering each other like five year olds.

Oh and PMQ questions should have to be approved by the speaker in advance. No more some backbencher asking if the PM agrees with him that that the opposition all smell of wee.

Truly impaired.

Unless you can get all of those whether in a coalition or a single party to be as one it will make little difference as we have seen with both Tories and Labour.
Maybe it would be of use if any Government in power did what was right for the Country rather than having agendas of their own.
It has been said that because of the relatively short time a government is in power, unless re-elected that their policies are always based on short termism. For instance Labour wants more government based people and the Tories go for private firms. Most likely due to their individual paymasters.
Also many ministers seem more interested in what they can get out of it themselves than what they are paid for and that is to run the country.
Politics need to change as many people are fed up with being spoon fed lies and told do as I say and not as I do. Whilst billions are wasted and we the people have to pick up the tab.

Although formally expelled it could be viewed that MacDonald had already abandoned the Labour Party when it happened, the reasons are complex:

The Liberal Party playing politics (in the worst sense of the phrase) over things like the Zinoviev letter didn't help either, and from a national governing perspective poisoned relations with Soviet Russia for good (although maybe no person or nation could put a brake on Stalin by that time.)
