The location of corporations is outside of our control but the location of Parliament and Departments are up to us. My vote is to move Parliament to Salford and spread the Departments around; Dept. of Work and Pensions to Stoke for example. Couple this with some degree of proportional representation; watch voter interest pick up.kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-74879091889758718822013-11-11T12:49:12.508+00:002013-11-11T12:49:12.508+00:00Perhaps you should have contributed this to labour...Perhaps you should have contributed this to labourlist and thereby improved their ratio.<br />Labourlist's editor is famously a Geordie who happens to live in London.
