Government

The current system of government isn't fit for purpose

We promote the ideas of:

First past the post

Elected commons every 3 years              

Elected lords every 6 years

Voting mandatory

Government open 12 months of the year

MPs to attend Parliament scheduled one week per month

MPs to attend Constitutes three weeks per month

The current situation:

There are currently 646 MPs in the House of Commons

There are currently 734 Lords / Baroness etc in the House of Lords

Cabinet 23 + 9 others

Departments of State 27

Secretary of State 23

Ministers of State 55

Parliamentary Under-Secretaries of State 39

There are currently 7976 electoral wards / divisions in England

There are currently 1222 electoral wards / divisions in Scotland

There are currently  881 electoral wards / divisions in Wales

There are currently  582 electoral wards / divisions in Northern Ireland

This is the problem

To much Government

To many politicians

Not representative

Not reflective of the needs of the people

The solution
