The Queen’s
speech the previous week had left me to wonder if the public really has a say
in politics. Apparently, she said that the UK Coalition government will
introduce a law that allows voters to remove MPs they deem as troublesome. The coalition
government promised this law in 2010. Any MP with a scandal could have the
public force an election to remove the said MP.
Sure, we have
a say about our local politics, but that does not mean the higher-ups would not
be able to do anything. Anybody can recognize that the situation will be unfair
for an MP, so they will use their own unfair powers to fight against it.
Clearly, I find
it a weak attempt of the government to give the proper rights for the public to
remove MPs who had “grown molds” inside the UK government.
Probably, the
Coalition government, using UK’s Queen, were trying to appease people by “giving
them more rights over us”, or at least an illusion, and then they will push
through with the underground fracking, which could affect the foundations of a
great many properties in the United Kingdom.
The MPs are
actually looking forward to fracking because of its great promise of UK profit.
Yet another blow to real legal rights in the United Kingdom.
