Maybe because these petition have never (as far as I know) achieved anything?

Take my downvote for a paywalled link and lack of summary.

What is your issue with it? It’s perfectly cromulent.

Thank you for bringing that community to my attention.

Anecdotal of course, but while looking to downsize, we have seen many houses empty for 6+ months due to probate delays, and houses I would not buy for a pound due to the amount of work needed. So not sure how meaningful these stats are.

Take my upvote for archive link as the main link and the original paywalled one in the small print. I like it

Shit. I forgot about that nutcase

I hope they pick Badenoch, she has a better chance of making the party utterly unelectable.

Any reason to think DWP will behave any better than the post office with private investigations and prosecutions ?

Which may result in them opting out of paying into a private pension.

So until they sort out fast track decisions and deportation, what are they going to do with those illegals they round up? Put them in an empty prison cell - anyone see a flaw in that plan?

Not to be confused with OpenSUSE…

I think they are doomed. Visa rules for foreign students, who pay a lot more than British ones, make it less attractive than it used to be. And in general, the benefits of having a degree don’t make up for the ever increasing cost of that degree. My local Uni is shutting down many courses and getting rid of a lot of staff. Not just courses that some would label pointless either, it includes nursing for example.

Thanks for the archive link.

Fair enough. Updated my comment.

Edit: O P says the article headline was changed, and the post title has been corrected now. So removed my downvote, leaving this for the record. I hate deleted comments. Downvoted for the shit title. Article headline says £19 a year. £94 over a random 5 year period, may as well say it goes up by £1880 per century… That said, it’s another shitty case of socialise the losses caused by mismanagement.

Constituencies don’t vary in population nearly as much as your example. You could do more accurate calculations using This data but I doubt it would make much difference. And yes, fuck FPTP

Politicians. Morally obliged. Dream on.

Under FPTP there is not much use for this site. And while I believe, until proven wrong, that this site was created with the best intentions, the cynic in me thinks it could be a conservative plan to encourage a split in the votes for their opposition.

If we had PR, I would consider policies when voting. But at this point, even if I agreed with all conservative policies, I would not trust them to implement any of them. So my main consideration is which party has the best chance of beating the con artists in my area, not which party has the ‘best’ policies.
