 Another thing aboot the Scottish Parliament is that it is designed to produce minority or coalition governments.


Therefore, legislation can only be passed and the country governed by cross party co-operation and consensus.


Whereas the UK is a first past the post majority system.  Westminster governments govern by majority, and the house is a house of government forcing through it’s agenda, with an opposition trying to hold it to account.  It’s confrontational environment.  A constant battle.



Problem is May has tried to govern by majority and force with a minority government.  Perhaps she should have taken a trip up to Scotland for lessons in minority government and diplomacy.


She just doesn’t get it. 



And here is the current state of the Westminster parliament;

I think Rory Stewart Minister of Justice reads this forum because I have just seen him quote me tonight on question time when I said this
We need to lock them all in a big room (like a pope conclave ) and not let them out until they get together and sort it.

Anyway, what's far more important is that some 97 year old driver has pulled out of a side road and written off two cars. Shouldn't be allowed out!

You mean the same as 18, 23, 28, 34, 46, 57, 62 and 74yr old drivers do as well?
Do we ban everyone for having a non planned "accident"?


Diane Abbott reminds me of a car crash, she needs to be banned from everywhere.

Every time I've been involved in an accident it's been with drivers in their 30s & 40s turning right with out looking 2 of them attend by the police no blame on me. insurance company always blamed 3rd party for collision. Usually driving German made cars & a Range rover another good reason for leaving the EU

The UK inflation rate fell to 2.1% in December, from 2.3% the previous month, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) figure was the lowest in nearly two years.


 Talking of inflation, overall inflation has backed off due to a slump in global oil prices.

However, the weak pound is still having an impact on imported goods.



Lest take our bench mark price bike the Yamaha MT10.  Yamaha have just stuck the price up another 300 quid.  The on the road price is now - £11,941  So,


Pre Brexit vote on the road price May 2016 - £9999.00
January 2019 price - £11941.00
 
It’s not just Yamaha, another bike I fancy the Honda CB1000R+



September 2018 price - £12300
January 2019 price - £12600
 
Brexit is already hitting our biking hard.

The Japanese made bikes are still cheaper and better than those made in the EU.

I don't see the relevance of that statement, however,


BMW S1000R is £11,190


That undercuts both the MT10 and CB100R+


But whatever, new Japanese bike prices have increased by around 20% since the BREXIT vote.  And we are still right now full members of the EU.


Well done those who voted LEAVE! :eek

If it turns out Prince Phillip was to blame for the crash, will he be prosecuted for a driving offence like any of us would?.

You seem to be oblivious to political events in Scotland, perhaps you're focusing too hard on events here. Let me enlighten you. The First Minister of Scotland is facing a misconduct investigation for holding a series of meetings with a former First Minister of Scotland, who was recently under investigation himself, but has been successful in his judicial review of the allegations made against him. Why the First Minister felt the need to claim these meetings were unofficial, when  government officials were present, at here home, has yet to be revealed.


This one still has some mileage to go yet. Cant wait  :lol


Oh, and do try and keep up ;)

 The judicial review was in respect of the government investigations into sexual harassment claims against the former First Minister Alex Salmond.  Mr Salmond won his case against government for not following correct procedure.  The allegations against him continue to be investigated by police Scotland.  The judicial review had nothing to do with the actual allegations.


 
Ms Sturgeon meanwhile has referred herself to the parliamentary standards committee.


 
Party leaders in the Scottish Parliament have agreed to set up a cross-party committee to looking into the Scottish Governments handling of their investigation into claims of sexual harassment against Alex Salmond.  The committee is backed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.


Best to get yer foccing facts right before you lecture me on Scottish politics Agricola. :rolleyes



Be so kind as to indicate what it was I said that wasn't factual.

All that money and nothing to chauffeur it.  :lol
