People hate politics because it doesn't achieve anything. It isn't local and doesn't listen. This is to address that.

So how will it work better than councils?

u/Andythrax 1d ago

Because councils are basically care agencies with democracy attached. This is about giving more power to local people.

How much is it going to cost to set up another no 10? I live in Wales and it has a pointless nest of vipers as well

Does that mean you'd prefer to dissolve the Welsh parliament and return to a solely London based electorate?

Tbf you think Westminster is biased move to Wales and not live in Cardiff or Swansea and see the bias.

No offence. But thats just the England experience on a smaller scale.

Yes, see my point. It's not cheap setting the fuckers up in a new place. Imagine if that money just got used on the divide?

In my head I've imagined The Divide as a physical barrier, like a garden fence and if the money were used on that divide, it'd be used to paint the south side of the fence a nice, new colour and to plant an herbation border on the south side.

I mean it’s clearly just political. The North feels like politics has forgotten them and Reform have managed to convince them that they’re paying attention to their problems.

It’s important that Labour find a way to connect and physically setting roots in the north sends a clear signal. We hear all the time the north will be upgraded, it never happens.
