Fix how we're governed

Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?

Sort Grimsby First, Then Worry About World Affairs

⑂ Adapted

Look, I’m not saying we shouldn’t have a strong defence, my dad always said you need to look after your own house. But the idea that we’re supposed to be running around sorting out everyone else’s problems when our own high street is strugg

Education

Pay teachers properly or stop asking where they all went

Four of my colleagues left the profession in the last two years. Two went into corporate training, one retrained as a data analyst, one just stopped. None of them wanted to leave teaching. They loved it. They left because they couldnt affo

Government-funded Ministry of Silly Walks with protected budget

The Department for Silly Walks was defunded in the austerity years and this country has been poorer for it. Literally and spiritually. Walk down any high street and what do you see? Normal walking. Boring, regular, uninspired walking. It is

Defence

green defence, not just greenwashing

⑂ Adapted

i think we should be talking about reducing defence spending overall, not just making the current budget more efficient. it's crazy that we're still pouring so much money into the military when there are so many other pressing issues that n

Electoral reform

Why do we bother voting when millions of votes are ignored? Time for real change.

Ever wonder why your vote feels like it disappears into thin air sometimes? We’ve got millions of people up and down the country who vote, and their chosen candidate gets nowhere, so their vote might as well have been for the local dog show

Education

Why are we still testing kids like it's the 1950s?

What’s the point of cramming kids full of facts just to see if they can regurgitate them a week later? It’s like training a parrot. We’re meant to be preparing them for life, not just for the next exam. These constant tests don't actually t

Electoral reform

Fix this voting mess: Let's get serious about fairness.

We should adopt a system of proportional representation for all UK general elections, using a party-list system with a reasonable threshold. This would mean that the number of seats a party wins in Parliament would more closely reflect the

Electoral reform

Replace First Past the Post with Single Transferable Vote

The 2024 general election produced a parliamentary majority of 170 seats from 34% of the vote. In 2015, UKIP received 3.9 million votes and won one seat. The Greens received 1.2 million votes and also won one seat. The SNP received 1.5 mill

Healthcare

This assisted dying bill is a distraction from real needs

Saw Mrs. Price down the village last week. She’s 89, sharp as a tack but frail. Her husband’s been gone ten years, and she told me she’s just lonely. Her GP visits once a month, a nurse calls in twice a week. It’s not enough. She needs more

Water companies that dump sewage should lose their licence, not get a fine they can afford

Thames Water discharged raw sewage into rivers for 3.6 million hours in 2023. They were fined a fraction of their revenue. The fine is not a deterrent. It is a business expense. How this should work: 1. Every water company gets a sewage d

Education

Teach Britain's Real Story

⑂ Adapted

I'm fed up with the way history is taught in schools, it's all about what we did wrong, never what we did right. I've had customers coming into the DIY store, real people, talking about how their kids are being taught to be ashamed of Brita

Social welfare

Why are we making it harder for people to get back on their feet after job loss?

Seriously, what's the point of making people jump through hoops just to get a bit of help when they've lost their job? It feels like the system is designed to punish people for being unlucky, rather than helping them get back into work. We

Economy

Why should years of careful saving be wiped out just because you get old? Let's protect family nest eggs.

It really makes you wonder, doesn't it, why someone who’s worked hard all their life, paid their taxes, and put a bit aside for a rainy day, ends up having their entire life savings stripped away just because they need a bit of help in thei

Education

Seriously, are we still teaching kids about the Industrial Revolution like it's Ancient Rome?

Why are we still dedicating so much curriculum time to historical events that, frankly, are the root cause of most of our current environmental mess? It’s like giving a lecture on the benefits of smoking while simultaneously trying to treat

Education

Scrap Free Uni for Rich Kids

I think we should stop giving free university tuition to kids from rich families, it's a waste of taxpayer money. We need to focus on helping ppl who actually need it, like low income families who can't afford to send their kids to uni. Rig

Education

Schools are teaching kids to hate Britain. Time to fix it.

Why are we letting schools fill kids' heads with guilt about history instead of pride? Seems like every other week there's some new curriculum point about how terrible this country is. It’s madness. Kids should be learning about the good th

Transport

Bus lanes should only operate when buses actually run

Local

The bus lane on the A370 is in operation 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. I drove down it at 10:30pm on a sunday in february and there was one car in front of me, no buses anywhere, and about a mile of empty bus lane I wasnt allowed to us

Bristol Needs a Living Wage Now

I was at the local food bank the other day and saw a woman who works two jobs just to keep a roof over her family's head, and it's still not enough. She's a cleaner at the hospital and a part-time teacher's assistant, and she's barely scrap

Immigration

Enough is enough. Time for a common-sense immigration system that actually works.

Frankly, the current situation with immigration is getting out of hand. It feels like every week there's a new crisis or a report about people arriving who we simply don't have the resources to cope with. It’s not about being unwelcoming, i

Enough is Enough with All This Green Nonsense — Bring Back Common Sense!

I’m sick to death of seeing perfectly good bits of land churned up for these endless wind farms and solar panels. You walk down the high street and half the shops are boarded up, but we’ve got millions being poured into projects that don’t
