If we are to believe what the Government is proposing, that with enough signatures, topics of most concern to the electorate will be debated in the House of Commons. Pigs might also fly.

It is already generally accepted that the most popular will be the death penalty and our membership of the European Union. Should either, or both, ever be included in the business of the 'House', the vote would naturally be fixed, to save the faces of the Libdem element of the Coalition. The debate regarding the EU could be a possibility; if nothing more than to avoid a referendum by voting for the status quo. We could insist that each MP has to vote according to constituents' requirements.

We have pointed out previously, that serious decisions which have a bearing on the nation's economic health, are far too important for politicians to decide upon. If we are all in it together, then we all need to be part of the policy process. The nation then stands or falls by that result.



DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
