Brendan Barber on spiked:
“We need to think seriously about the future of British politics, and we might start by demanding the abolition of the monarchy, the abolition of the House of Lords, the complete expulsion of the police from parliamentary affairs, the injection of some serious ideas into media debate, and a full-on discussion about how to make parliament more – not less – democratic, political, partisan, inspiring and independent.”
Second that, Brendan. We need more not less democratic politics. This also means looking carefully at our relationship with Europe – even less accountable to me and you, the commoners.
