- All Government ministers, MPs, Lords etc must retire from government no later than their state retirement age. - This would put people like Corbyn out to pasture before they can kill the country
Naw it’s against current law. That would be age discrimination. We are all allowed now to work for as long as we like. Though I’m working on my early retirement.
- All MP candidates must have their primary residence in the constituency where they want to stand for a minimum of 3 years BEFORE they are allowed to stand. - This would stop the parties parachuting people they dont want to lose into safe seats and ensure that he MPs have a reason to back their constituents views
Naw, that’s just silly. Local candidates usually have an advantage. Anyway, we are a democracy, nobody is forced to vote for anybody. But what we really need is some form of proportional representation.
All MP candidates must pass an IQ test - This is to make sure they understand common sense and can add up etc
Naw. Discriminatory rules would be undemocratic. Again, it is for the people to decide. And there should be no rules, no limits on who we can vote for. Remember Ms Abbot was elected, her constitutes don’t want rid of her.
I am sure there will be many more like "compulsory retesting of drivers over the age of 70" etc.
Something needs to be done here. Both my parents had dementia. A few thoughts;
I’m 51 and I don’t think I could pass my driving test or motorcycle test without a good few lessons and practise. We don’t need a driving test, what is needed is some sort of assessment to ensure an elderly individual is still safe or otherwise to drive.
And you have to remember people with dementia won’t necessarily remember they no longer have a license to drive. If there are keys and a car they’ll go.
