The Queen's Speech - what's missing!
Submitted by editor on Tue, 06/11/2007 - 12:06
So, according to the Queen's Speech today (written by the Government), the Government wants to give more power to the people! We'll believe that either when they reform the voting system so all our votes can be effective or when pigs fly. The Government regards 83 constituencies as key marginals. Those of us who live in any of the other 566 have no political power and will not have any until the voting system is reformed, but voting reform was missing from the Speech.
"Power to the people" but not a lot! Who is Prime Minister - Gordon Brown or Paul Daniels?
