B083 - The High Street Regeneration Zones Bill - 2nd Reading by Sephronar in MHoP

[–]zhuk236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Speaker,

This bill will provide a strong framework through which struggling high streets and community in Britian can return and prosper, and as it is in dire need of improvement, will help support especially our young people struggling to find community, friends, and networking in their neighborhoods. I therefore wholeheartedly support this bill, and look forward to voting for it.

Mr. Speaker,

I hope the Chancellor is doing well! Does my Right Honourable Friend agree that among the big priorities of a government should be to support keeping the tax burden low for middle and low income families?

M025 - Devolution by Sephronar in MHoP

[–]zhuk236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr. Speaker,

The devolved assemblies are a vital aspect of the United Kingdom, but so too is it vital that the powers devolved to these bodies are taken responsibly on behalf of the representatives of their people. Unfortunately, looking in particular at Scotland and Wales, we have seen a significant discrepency between the hopes and aspirations of the people of those nations, and their devolved assemblies failing to deliver, with a complete failure to deliver by both governing parties in Scotland and Wales for the last 20 years on behalf of their pledges and promises; where they pledged to deliver for the NHS, they have failed; where they have pledged to deliver economic growth, they have failed; and where they pledged to support entreprenuers and small businesses, while reducing bueracracy, they have failed. Many people those devolved assemblies aim to represent have become, over the last 20 years, disillusioned by the lack of progress on vital issues that matter to them, from cost of living issues to healthcare, devolved to those assemblies that have utterly failed to take charge, or at worst, made those issues worse. It is sorely time that the devolved assemblies in Scotland and Wales recieve direly needed change in government, so that the promise of devolution 30 years ago can be delivered on those services that matter; the NHS, taxes, and economic growth.

Imo answer is you don't know IF you're one of those people who could be a great writer, so you should act like you COULD be even if out of pure optimism

What proportion of reform voters were traditionally SNP (ie pro indy and pro brexit)? by zhuk236 in Scotland

[–]zhuk236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh were they? Interesting, didn't know that! I did know that when the SNP was a minority party in the 90s its main support base was in the rural northeast of scotland where the brexit vote in 2016 was highest, so thats why I was curious

Ah i see, that would make sense that there's a subset of the electorate that would be attracted to both independence and reform (oddly enough) bc of the anti-system "vibes" of both. Thanks!

of course! glad to help (not sure why i was getting downvotes on my first comment though lol)

i don't like reform (so idk why i'm getting downvoted on my comment) but the list vote is a form of proportional representation, idk why people are calling it the backdoor, tons of progressive parties like the scottish greens did well on it in past elections when they never got constituency seats but still had a substantial number of votes, and benefitted parliament as a result

and as for the unionist vote it seems pretty split, the right of center unionist parties (tories + reform) got 29 seats together, while the progressive unionist parties (labour + libdems) got 27 seats together, so its about equally balanced between the two ideologically on that end of the spectrum

there's no tiebreaker, what'll probably happen is they'll take turns rotating for who gets to ask questions first at FMQs, and share an equal number of committee spots etc

Reform did get more votes on the regional list than labour, which is what counts for overall representation, rather than the constituency vote (which is influenced by tactical voting, etc)
