Do you have an idea what that stat looks like when you look at the children of the MPs, rather than the MPs itself? I’d find that more interesting.


One thing I really like about SG (especially since we’re lucky enough to be granted PR here too) is that citizens _must_ attend government financed schools. I don’t necessarily agree with education policies here but can’t deny that they’re made by people whose own kids will feel the consequences.

Labour already talking about releasing criminals from prison because of 'overcrowding'. UK going to become even more of a crime-infested cesspit.

For a more detailed and perhaps balanced view

Immigrants to Rwanda was a daft distraction but stull much better than the EU scheme of supporting deportation to near failed state environments. I would guess Rwanda was just a distraction to avoid talking about the much needed but unpopular to core conservatives massive influx of legal economic migrants.

HS2 was probably needed due to the massive growth in passenger number post privatization. With an over doubling of passengers on the West Coast line alone. 90% of the growth within 80 miles of London i.e. Up as far as Birmingham. HS2 was needed but regional metro systems are needed much more.

Do as I do - yes unpalatable at times but usually common at the end of all political parties tenure
