One only needs to look at the USA to see what can happen when a bad actor gets into power and installs a cabinet of unprincipled folk. There is perhaps more useful mileage to be had in the proposals from the 99 organisation.
The tone of this discussion reinforces my view that now is the time to abolish the parasitic House of Lords and replace it with an elected second chamber with the credibility to scrutinise and analyse decisions made in the Commons. However, this must be done in a timely manner, and not become a useful delaying tactic. As others here have pointed out, democracy is supposed to be the implementation of the will of the people.
Will resident of Colne/Pendle vote for Cllr in May 2027
that failed them Y-N?
***************************
‘Another cost’ - Small businesses hit out at new pavement rules
**
Labour—Tory Cllr of Pendle that will have NO power soon to charge Small town center business shop extra cash by their made-up bad policy just to fund the Cllr-Mayors wages increase residents.
**
Take note Small Business people in Pendle-Colne areas of Lancashire you vote for the Cllr -Mayor to keep their jobs in May 2027 for an extra 5 YEARS them you vote for also will get bigger wages is this pavement policy funding their wages increases ANDY Labour M.P. of Pendle Mr Hinder Y-N?
**
Take Small business people being ripped off by Labour -Tory Cllr of Pendle when we Merge under the Devolution Deal rules they will lose their job then Pendle area will be run by a puppet Govt Mayor Not Cllr you vote for in May 2027 (So why vote for them?)
Concluding!
I ask ANDY Govt an dour Pendle M.P. who is footing the wages increase to Cllr after May vote None have replied to me yet WHY
I suspect this new pavement policy if will be resident and small business people footing the wages increase to our Cllr.
Democratic accountability is LAKING in Westminster ... the crisis in longevity of PM is an obvious trait .. anything to increase accountability democratically is a VERY positive move!

It is an oddity, isn't it,that in a democracy a PM or their Chief of Staff can tell the electorate, in effect, "I am right and you are wrong"
I guess that preventing abuses of power is *in theory* what a second chamber is for. What would a second chamber that actually worked look like?
