My biggest concern over the lack of democracy in the the UK wouldn’t be the EU tbh, it’d be the fact that it doesn’t even have a proportionally representative voting system for general elections.

And in what way do you think having another layer of bureaucracy on top of a disfuctional one was helping the situation?
I wonder how all the times we voted for our MEPs has managed to pass by the people who make this argument
The turnout for european elections was fairly dire - usually around half that of the Westminster elections.I wonder how all the times we voted for our MEPs has managed to pass by the people who make this argument

High noon for Gary: why is the once-popular name on the verge of extinction? | Parents and parenting | The Guardian
I remember a whole load of articles a while ago about the decline of the name Gary.
There's nothing wrong with Gary! I can't imagine looking at a baby and deciding they were an Ava, Mia, Alfie, Jack, or any other currently popular name
I adore the irony that the most sabre rattling MEP of all was Nigel Farage. He thought it was a joke organisation and he worked for it. I would love to know what people thought they were voting for in MEP elections? Just another juicy vein on the gravy train. As for the shuttling the entire organisation between Strasbourg and Brussels? They couldn't even agree something as basic as where to hold their meeting so us, the public (mugs) paid for them to haul arse every other time somewhere else. The waste and bureaucracy is just sickening.I wonder how all the times we voted for our MEPs has managed to pass by the people who make this argument
Also I stand corrected, let's call it THREE separate lots of wages, not two. What was I thinking?!
unpopular opinion: this thread has become boring 
My UO is that secondary school children should not be allowed on buses and they should have their own. Firstly many of them do not even pay or have a zip card whilst I have to pay to listen to outrageous screaming on my way to and from work. Maybe not even get a seat because the entire yr8 is on the top deck singing loudly and playing music.
We definitely need more school buses, it'd reduce problems with kids on public transport AND cut down on some of the ridiculous amounts of money spent on taxis for schoolchildren. People complain it's a waste of money but, yeah, not as much as taxis are
it surprises me why UK and our area is so massively popular with Eastern Europeans... it's rather a diverse area in West London with for want of a better term many people of non white backgrounds.. You only have to look at the football when England play over there and the horrendous racial insults aimed at their players.
that and the sudden relaxing of restrictions when some people are still going round saying we should all be locked up til Spring...
He can make up what he likes.. we are not dumb enough to forget what he's done that easily..
The thing is most people come over here and form their own native communities within their own cultures, and they don't want to be part of British culture or society per se. They basically want to live their life as they always have but benefit from the economic opportunities that they cannot get in their own countries. We are perfectly tolerant of people living their life the way they choose within the confines of the laws, that apply to all of us. How does that make us racist and intolerant?
he could tell me his name was Boris Johnson and I wouldnt believe him.. mind you isn't that strictly speaking not his actual name?
My FIL was christened Gary but his brothers all called him Bill because they decided Gary was a 'sissys name'
I had known him for 5yrs before i realised his name wasn't actually Bill
my UO is the kids should be taught how to behave themselves but good points guys
Unpopular opinion: suggest something to make it more interesting or jog on to another thread that is maybe...unpopular opinion: this thread has become boring
The roads would be so much quieter if kids all went to school on buses rather than being driven. Less traffic, less wasting time and petrol sitting in it.
Makes sense to me.
UO: McDonald’s breakfast is over rated.
HSBC have a poster campaign featuring 2 lesbians kissing and a big fat ugly baby. WHY?
What is it meant to achieve ? Are they saying lesbians why don't you come bank here??What has sexuality got to do with banking and finance?
How about they save their money and give me a bit of interest on my savings?
