In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

Bring in Wes Streeting/Chukka Umunna for Labour and Rory Stewart/ Hedi Allen for Conservative. Much more competent than either of the current leaders. Trouble is only 1 of the above is a sitting MP, lol.

We joke about politicians being a bunch of children then they actually share the same summer holiday date.
All I'm gonna say is if politicians need that much holiday to do their intense job of sitting around hollering then just saying yes to their leaders proposals cause that's the point of being in a party, maybe we should get the same for our actual labour.

Tax Realist Rishi makes sense. Example when you earn less money to support your family ( Govt earns money through Tax ) , then why would you try to earn even less money to support your family . Increase Tax rate along with increase amount on Non Tax. So Rich earning people tax higher and Less- middle are not taxed for increased prices . Increase Tax on luxury items (marbles, jewelry, flights, boats, more than two householding ownership ), fast foods , restaurants, entertainment , buying any new property/ real estate , car , high end phones and remove tax on agriculture foods , daily necessity at every daily necessary middle class category from household (food, repair equipment, paper ) , schools ( books, pencil, tuition fee) , public transport .

There is not a single proper politician left in Britain, just mouthpiece chancers straight out of University who don't want to work for a living and see politics as the chance to earn a fortune while patronising the working class.
That goes for all parties.
The Conservative and Labour parties have together done more damage to every area of Britain and its people than any other thing including wars. They should be tried for treason, disbanded and banned for ever for the carnage wreaked on the citizens of the UK.

The UK Government in the past 12 years have proved it is completely out of its depth. It regards taking advice from experts as a weakness.
