What bill would you campaign for?

If you could initiate a proposal for a bill to be debated by Parliament that would actually be brought into law, what would it be?

(Genuinely a little more interested in actual bills rather than ones that suggest you can get your cock sucked or have Tom Hardy date you! but each to their own!)

Oh I choose The Tom Hardy bill please

But honestly...I the working week should be reduced, as a whole the UK works now hours than the Europeans.

Shut the shops on Sundays, give longer lunchtime breaks.

People would be less stressed, happier, healthier and would probably live longer

I would love to see an anti gentrification bill. We need more social housing and to stop pricing people out of their homes and cramming them into other areas making them worse.

I’m with you on this. Carers don’t seem to be recognised enough and they do a fantastic job. I looked after my mum so I understand.

I don't agree with Sundays tbh, I work full time M-F, and am an unpaid carer on Saturdays so if I need to get to a shop Sunday is usually the only day I can get there.

Do agree with bank Holidays tho

I would have the banning of processed meals alongside making food tech/cooking compulsory in schools upto age 16. So many out there can't cook from scratch. It could almost reverse the obesity and diabetes trend in this country.

I would also reintroduce actual chefs cooking real food in schools and hospitals. How can the body grow and heal when not nourished?

Approved, all but the prison one (think there’s things to sort before that in the justice system and sentencing and understanding of rehabilitation and reform).

I loved mine in Northumberland. It cost about £200 I think and we were able to pay in instalments. My eldest sister chose to go to a grammar school and went to Austria.

Universal benefits need to be seriously looked at. I would rather the tax I pay went on whatever it takes to make sure the people that need it get it.

I'd also like to make sure all schools were secular and that education was free until the age of 21.

Wow. This is more or less exactly the bill I would have them passed too. Practical skills have been lost by many and this should be school curriculum. Much more than religious studies, history, geography, even English and science should take back seats to practical knowledge. For me this would extend to other things though like wiring a plug etc.

Because there’s often more complexity to why someone is begging. Happy to debate on another thread.

Of course there will be issues such as addiction. I'm not sure how it would affect the crime rates associated with drugs though. Would they fall as the drugs became more freely available and cheaper or would they rise as more addicts chase their next hit. Also you'd have the health problems that people will suffer later down the line but on the other hand the government would raise a hell of a lot of money in taxes to pump into the nhs. I just think people should be given the option of what recreational substance they choose to take rather than alcohol being the only choice.

All parents to be encouraged, maybe by an extra benefit/stay at home payment, for one of them to stay home and raise their children properly until they reach full time education. Those parents to attend parenting workshops with their children to ensure they are not wasting that time watching JK or just plonking their kids in front of the telly.

Kids to learn basic manners, life skills, respect, ettiquette and the difference between right and wrong from their parents. Reinforced throughout their growing up by consistently good parenting.

Parents not to feel forced by finacial reasons to return to work and place their children in childcare.

"If you could initiate a proposal for a bill to be debated by Parliament that would actually be brought into law, what would it be?

(Genuinely a little more interested in actual bills rather than ones that suggest you can get your cock sucked or have Tom Hardy date you! but each to their own!)"

If I could have a bill guaranteed to be passed into law it’s wouldn’t be a UK bill (I still think we have it easier/better in the uk than in the majority of the rest of the world!) - it’d be a global equality bill!

Where whether you have any rights at all as a female doesn’t depend entirely on what culture, country or social class you were born in.

Where whether you were likely to survive into adulthood didn’t depend where in the world you were born.

And where you were free to choose your sexuality without fear of prejudice or even persecution/death!

Now I’d give a hell of a lot for that bill to be passed!

If I had to choose a uk bill - it would be a bill to force holiday companies into equalising their charges instead of making going away in the school holidays at least twice as expensive as term time - making it impossible for many parents to afford to take their kids on holiday!

I’d also ban all companies, be they holiday or leisure facilities etc, from charging kids as an adult as young as 11 - many years before they have the capacity to pay for themselves!

To me if they’re not old enough to work full time or pay tax, then they shouldn’t be classed as an adult!

My kids and I now have far fewer days out due to ‘adult’ pricing!

"There should be either far more referendums or MPs should be forced to consult and vote the way the majority of their constituents want on issues, like our the way our parliamentary system is supposed to be.

Maybe we wouldn't have got dragged into the illegal Iraq war if we had this then or bring back capital punishment now.

Mmmmm.

That's the way our democracy is suppose to work, don't you agree then or do you believe in political party dictatorship with your and my MP having to vote the way Corban tells them to?

Mmmmmm.

I'll take you lack of comment as acceptance of my bill, fantastic! Anybody know where Albert Pierrepont's descendents live?

There was no lack of comment. Just a lack of wanting to discuss with you.

Oh and I’d already turned down half your proposal earlier on the thread, and I’ve been skipping repeats. "

That's too simplistic. We don't elect MPs just to be a straight proxy for our views. We elect them to bring their own experience, opinions, knowledge and judgement to the role.

If all they have to do is parrot what constituents say, what's the point of them?

On the main topic, given people want to bring back the death penalty even though it doesn't work as a deterrent and kills innocent people, I'd respond with a bill that makes it illegal to ever bring it back

And then something on housing. It should be illegal to own multiple properties and leave them empty.

I think councils will need a huge amount of help in how to best advise and support especially where people are still not priority, but it will be interesting to see how they respond (and how other organisations work in unison) - the fact that there is an imperative to actually discuss someone’s situation and provide ideas is important in terms of customer service and helping people understand what the possibilities or lack of are, rather than just sending away if there’s no duty, but when there aren’t solutions out there still, it’s not going to solve issues per se. The increase from 28 to 56days for the period 'threatened with homelessness' is excellent.

Yes I think there should anything could happen to somebody especially with eye sight. I passed my car test at 17 and it's valled till I'm 65. That's a lot of years for 1 silly test.

Our democracy is that we elect one from among us to represent and be the voice of our constituencies.

Surely the collective majoritive opinion is far better one just one person's view? If that mean we end up with laws that some find unpalatable so be it, as long as they was a majority vote for those laws that's what matters.

I was 1s a fork lift instructor examiner and on them you have a retest every 3 years. Ok it's a rtitb recommendation but most company's do stick to it. I do think that's a little much but every 5 or 10 years I think would be a much better system....

"There should be either far more referendums or MPs should be forced to consult and vote the way the majority of their constituents want on issues, like our the way our parliamentary system is supposed to be.

That's too simplistic. We don't elect MPs just to be a straight proxy for our views. We elect them to bring their own experience, opinions, knowledge and judgement to the role.

If all they have to do is parrot what constituents say, what's the point of them?

On the main topic, given people want to bring back the death penalty even though it doesn't work as a deterrent and kills innocent people, I'd respond with a bill that makes it illegal to ever bring it back

And then something on housing. It should be illegal to own multiple properties and leave them empty.

Our democracy is that we elect one from among us to represent and be the voice of our constituencies.

Surely the collective majoritive opinion is far better one just one person's view? If that mean we end up with laws that some find unpalatable so be it, as long as they was a majority vote for those laws that's what matters. "

"Raise the natanal speed limit to 1 more suited to modern cars rather than when you needed a man with a flag and raise the amount of points before you get a ban. 12 point you can top up in a day.

Should there be repeat testing on a whatever frequency basis?

"From each according to his means,

So everyone gets exactly the same house? (Depending on their needs obvs)

I want to decide what sort of house I live in and where its built.

At the moment, virtually every house in this country is unique. Do you propose we knock them all down and start again, building identical houses throughout the country?

My English and grammar is poor, failed both O-levels, and it doesn't bother me one bit, not like you and true democracy.

You don’t really follow the points that were made do you?

You're not very supportive, are you? "

That’s your opinion. Are you asking for support? If so, on what?

"Abolish private property, to be allocated on a "by need" basis. Rent to be means tested and payable to the state.

So no-one is allowed to own their own property, do i understand your Bill correctly?

Welcome to utopia. Everyone gets housed though, so what’s the issue?

The issue is someone else deciding how I spend/invest my very hard earned cash.

Spend it on something else then. You don't really own land/property anyway, you just look after it for the next generation.

How would you like me to spend my hard earned money then?

What if i want to leave MY house to MY next generation?

Its bollocks like that this that boils my piss.

Bet it stings on the way out

Invest in anything you want, there’s just not the option to invest in housing in my utopia. Jimi’s bill was passed for its greater good. Sorry that curbs your spending joy. Sorry, not sorry.

Oh what about us poor sods who are already heavily invested in property "

Tough shit on 99% of the working population by the looks of things.

Not so much of a utopia now is it.....

99%? Most people don't own property anyway, so it makes no difference to them.

They either rent it off a landlord, the council or the bank, and most of those who rent it off the bank may own it once they retire, just in time to sell it to pay for their care in old age.

So really, it would affect very few people

A few?

40 houses in my street. 38 are privately owned. So, on that statistic, 98%

Sting, accept that you’re not getting your way today. Also come and have the argument about your right to your self interest with many of the hardworking people unable to even get housing let alone consider buying.

It’ll make you revaluate priorities.

Abolish the term affordable housing being used incorrectly. 80% of an inflated market rent/price is not affordable to anyone in need of affordable housing.

Rent cap in overheated markets.

A roof over your head is a basic need and we have to stop thinking of it as a pension plan.

Better recognition for kinship carers, specifically a waiver on child benefit eligibility for only two children. That seems to me to punish the children twice.

Scrap the cuts to women's refuges and invest in more refuges for men.
