Hi to everybody...had a think about things and came up with this solution for a better form of democracy...
1. The dissolution of all current political parties.
2. Every county in Britain and Ireland would have a choice between five representatives and one would be elected to represent each one in Parliament. The representative chosen must have 51 per cent of the vote. Their salary would be set by their Council members. Council members would be elected to assist the Representative in running the county.
3. Each county would be allocated funds with which to run their Council according to their needs. They could spend the money in any way in which they saw fit with no interference from Parliament.
4. Key utilities like energy supplies, transport and communication would be renationalized.
5. Defence of the country would be under the auspices of Parliament.
6. Each county would decide on the size of its police force and pay for it from its funds. All the individual forces would be linked to each other so that full cooperation could be achieved.
7. Education would be up to each county to decide on which method it preferred.
8. Counties with large groups of underprivileged persons and run down estates would be provided with extra funds to start a renewal process and the eventual repair or new builds for all areas where dire poverty exists.
9. Elections would take place every five years.
10. No wars could be entered into without all the elected representatives agreeing to it.
11. The House of Lords would have representatives chosen for their achievements and none would be allowed to sit in it through hereditary peerages. Each one would be elected by the Parliamentary representatives after consultation with their individual councils.
12. The National Health would be funded by the government, but each county could decide on the number of hospitals and staff it required to provide adequate health care for every person living in the county.
13. Each county would decide on its minimum wage for all workers with a minimum set by Parliament. This could be higher than the one set by Parliament but not lower. All company executives in each county would have a limit to the amount paid to them and all multi-million pound bonuses would be abolished. Through this, the profits made by each company could be filtered down to the work force so that fairer salaries could be gained by all and Pension funds could be maintained at an adequate level.
14. All pay demands would be dealt with by the individual counties' councils in yearly negotiations with Union representatives. The increase agreed would be binding on all companies with representatives.
15. The Civil Service would be reduced in number to those required by Parliament for the proficient running of its departments. Those who are made redundant would be employed by individual councils to assist in the running of their departments.
16. The Chief Representative would be elected by the entire Parliament, and key positions as well. Each Representative chosen would serve for a period of three years, with the possibility of serving until the end of the Parliament if all of Parliament is satisfied with how they are discharging their duties.

There we are...now it's time for lunch...HLOL...that's a can of worms for you to tear apart...
