Parliament Can’t Recall Promising to Sack Corrupt MPs
Both Dave and Nick promised before the election they would change the law to let us recall corrupt MPs. After the election they agreed it was a priority and put it in the Coalition Agreement:
We will bring forward early legislation to introduce a power of recall, allowing voters to force a by-election where an MP is found to have engaged in serious wrongdoing and having had a petition calling for a by-election signed by 10% of his or her constituents.
Imagine Guido’s shock when pretty much the only piece of legislation proposed by this government that would improve accountability was kicked into the long grass:
“The Government remains committed to establishing a recall mechanism which is transparent, robust and fair. However, we set out in the White Paper that we would consider the results of this process with great care. In order to fulfil that pledge, and to give due consideration to the Committee’s conclusions and recommendations, the Government wishes to take the proper time to reflect on this policy and determine its future direction. That way we can be sure of introducing the most appropriate mechanism for our constitutional framework.”
In other words, never…
Fooled You all!!!
wow great day for new threads – love it
No, we were expecting it.
Quite.
It’s all down to Clegg. He knows that the first MPs with their heads on the Blocks would be LibDems for their lies over tuition fees.
They would have been toast.
Let me close the General Assemlby for you it is no longer needed and seems to be full of speculators and profiteers, if you’re squeamish I’ll just have 50% shot and the rest sent to the mines.
OT

tvrdon isn’t a welsh name. I wonder why it took so long to name him?
Because they can’t pronounce it.
Just imagine how long it would have taken if he’d been a “youth” – or “of Mediterranean appearance”
Cameron and Clegg are politicians therefore they are liars. I wish they would all just fuck off and leave us in peace.
What do you expect from a pathological liar and serial bungler.
Don’t know what Sam sees in him.
Business as usual!
Wavy Davey rides again with his side kick Tonto Clegg, ready to fight wrongs and put miscreants in jail, but first Dave has to think about it
“Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas” shocker……
“corrupt MP” is another tautology.
If they had introduced this Act, I would have been the first one to be recalled and lose his seat. Nick Clegg could not allow this as my boys are the 2nd highest donors to the LibDems from the profits they have made from the asylum seeker/planning permission scam that I run here in Portsmouth. Boaz.
Let them get rid of Scotland first, to take some of the risk out of it. Then ask again.
Did Nixon really call him a “pansy poet socialist?”
In the same context as Cast Iron Guarantee’s of a EUSSR referendum
Very Flexible…….& now blowing in the wind….
Or drifting gently along in the Gulf Stream in a southerly direction down the Portuguese coast eventually ending on the East coast of Barbados in about 10years time.
Wish I could think of something intellectual to say – am letting myself down
Yes!
Caught you napping cat!
Cat, dont you animals think about pussy occasionally???????
Since the age of 11, I have never stopped.
Can’t speak for the sockpuppet above though…
You had my cast iron guarantee on this and an EU PLEBiscite
LOL
Does that mean Lots of Love
A good reason for the Coalition to not implement is: the first MP to face recall would be Cleggy.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila floor

This woman is a fucking buffoon, she should let that cut under her nose heal up.
Out of control female party members are given one chance then if no improvement shot. This one is well past the deadline
Modderation is beyond belief. Guido, you are making a mockery of your own site.
Jeepers, you were right Doc. My reply to your delicate suggestion was also mo&&ed. Nothing as kwear as folk, methinks.
So you took to twitter to complain about white people working (as unemployment is down!).
Dear Ms Abbott. Black youths require role models and if they choose you they will get a fat lazy hypocritical bitch who went to Oxford and sent her son to a private school while denying others the same opportunities. Having never done a decent day’s work in your overindulged stupid life I suggest you change the subject.
Try sending the blonde hair blue eyed Poles back home Diane
Why the hell are there not TV’s in first class on the train?
…..and champagne says Bob Crowe.
… and Young cocktail waitresses mmmmm
And plenty of ale for tough yorkshire men.
…complimentary copies of Horse and Hound and Badger Culling for amateurs.
Like crossdressers do you George?
Anyone know where I can lay my hands on some barrels of gunpowder and if there are any storage facilities in the SW1A area?
Asking for a friend…
suggest he makes contact with Mr Armadinnerjacket he has global connections !

OR
Fuck you all Plebs
Well, yes…
…yet when the Gov tries to introduce boundary changes to reduce the number of MPs from 660 to 600, the Plebs say “nah – coz itz the Torie Toffs gerryman… gerrynamd… er… fiddlin’, innit, yer”.
Make your mind up what you want.
Mention boundary changes again and I will go all nuclear on your ass.
Iam declaring war.
We will solve the problem for you Dave. For a first offence chop off the right or left hand as appropriate. For a second offence , stone the fxcker to death in public
Yes that sounds like a great way to deal with MP’s !
Power to recall is one thing Guido.
Finding honest men in Parliament to form a select committee to adjudicate, whose hands are still moderately clean is another.
Why is the toilet paper not quilted on Pendalino first class?, and more to the point why was I not invited to the captains table on my way to London?
Apologies M’lord, we weren’t aware you were in first class, we believed you were engaged in valuable PR work in ‘Cattle Class’
Normally of course we would have a child available to cleanse you, thus avoiding you having to sully yourself with your own excrement. Unfortunately said child was busy being bummed by the Captain, as we did not appreciate that you might be caught short or hungry.
Please accept our apologies and we trust our franchise will be renewed.
There,s nothing wrong with Philadephia.It,s anice part of the world.
Jeepers, you were right Doc. My reply to your delicate suggestion was also mo&&ed. Nothing as kwear as folk, methinks.
Has anyone else noted the large increase in the use of the word “Robust” by MP’s? Almost on a par with the word “clearly.”
Both seem to mean the exact opposite!
Let us be clear , the phrase ” you know ” appears to have been banned these days . I am appalled by this and someone clearly has questions to answer .
this isn’t new!!
my MP told me this a couple of years ago when he sneeringly told me that they have to look after themselves (he’s a tory)
Can we also kick out a useless government if 10% of voters think they are shite ?
You’ve tried your way. Now try ours.
Could be difficult running a parliament with no MPs left in it.
Crying shame that our country is being let down by the quality of our MPs. Still we voted for them.
Can only hope that Democracy2015 forces a raising of the bar.
… match the raisin of the prices of just about eveything else?
*including raisins natrurally!
Yes currantly.
How can we persuade our MPs to insult the religion of peace? Could lead to a satisfactory result.
Ask our resident cartoonists to come up with something suitably useful (like they do every week).
I. Smell yet again the strong and pungent fragrance of the savanna
I e the long grass
