    Where did it all go wrong for The Liberal Democrats ?

    I think the Lib Dems should have stuck to their guns on having a referendum on PR (well something like STV potentially) as opposed to AV. Okay would have given parties they fully opposed like UKIP more seats but as already mentioned they would still be getting around 60odd seats with 11% of the...

    Police Crime Sentencing and Courts bill 2021 - Infringement on Protest rights going too far?

    Well luckily for them operational decisions are made by the police and not politicians so maybe when another lockdown happens in September some MPs might regret it if they attend an anti lockdown protest!

    Police Crime Sentencing and Courts bill 2021 - Infringement on Protest rights going too far?

    I'm sure all those Tories who vote for this bill will be complaining when the police start cracking skulls from the pro fox hunting lobby when they cause a nuisance or an annoyance. The problem with bringing in laws for a political purpose (ie to stop BLM and extinction rebellion protests) it...

    Remaining DOO disputes?

    If I remembering rightly, I remember reading that any further DOO cannot be bought in by changing station infrastructure like monitors mirrors etc. The only way to do it is have in cab monitors not amending station infrastructure. I might be wrong though but I do remember reading something like...

    Things that used to be common place in people’s homes

    Do people still have those digital photo frames? Not sure about the desktop computer suggestion, what about all those gamers out there, think most non console gamers would be on a desktop as opposed to a laptop. I guess they are less popular now you can just use a tablet etc for most tasks. cd...

    2020 US Presidential Election

    I'm definitely not a Trump fan but I guess that is democracy and its good that someone can be voted in who isn't a career politician. Would have been better if he was less of a maniac though.

    2020 US Presidential Election

    I think a small Republican contingent were trying to get the numbers so Trump couldn't take the presidency, they couldn't get near enough numbers! Not sure why the Democrats electoral college votes moved. Yeah with the US system there isn't any guarantee of anything happening or not haha! Not...

    2020 US Presidential Election

    270 might not be enough in the sense of previous elections have had faithless electors in the elections trial college. In 2016 Clinton loss 5 votes while Trump lost 2 electors. The 7 electoral college votes went to other candidates such as Bernie Sanders, Colin Powell and Rob Paul. Imagine if...
