Sarah Everard alleged murder by a Police Officer


What the U.K. needs is electoral reform, it’s ridiculous that the party who won 43.6% of the vote won 56% of the seats. FPP is an outdated and unacceptable form of voting...

Quoted for Truth.

NZ also has no unelected upper house as we do. 55% of our parliament isn't even elected.
 
I think it's a general sentiment about how every valid protest gets hijacked by anarchist lunatics these days, who just see it as an opportunity for mayhem. That said, it is a valid protest for many reasons.

you're not using the politically correct usage of the political position that is anarchism (depicted here by Godwin, Kropotkin and Bakunin)

anarchy in the UK.webp

We used to have an upper house, the Legislative Council, it was modelled on the House of Lords, it was also unelected. A PM in the 1940’s decided he didn’t like it so abolished it in 1950. There have been calls to reestablish it ever since.
