All views are my own.
@ParlCharlie@tynwaldinfo A very dignified, yet functional chamber. There's a lot to be said for parliamentary chambers having proper seating and armrests for members. I also really like the bookcase behind the speaker's chair.
@flyinglawyer73@PaddyBriggs Wasn't that in part because he didn't want to prevent his son Randolph from pursuing a career as an MP? At the time, before the Life Peerages Act, he would have been unable to disclaim it.
@JasonLoch If I recall, the original plan was to abolish the post of LC altogether. That is, until they discovered just how intertwined the role was across the three branches of government.
@TheDeniseCrosby@StarTrek The Nexus. Spend a few years enjoying paradise and then leave to go back to a time of your choice when the world wasn't so screwed up.
@networkrail the overhead power line on the gantry next to the bridge below between Hemel Hempstead and Apsley has been making a loud crackling sound for a few days. Just reporting in case there is a safety issue.
@MichaelgTCD What if HH somehow ended up getting elected on his transfers? It'd certainly make for a peculiar mandate, if she was elected thanks to the votes of another candidate who is no longer seeking the office.
@davidtorrance The Council of the Regions will likely face a similar challenges to those faced by the EU Committee of the Regions. The latter is intended to provide a voice to sub-national regions and communities, but given its lack of formal powers, it tends to get politely ignored.
@portalrealm I'd imagine that such a huge bridge would have have been a big challenge to shoot. They'd have to do a lot of wide angle shots and the split level would have made things even harder. Sort of like the DS9 promenade.
@MikeOkuda@EsqDba@gaghyogi49 In this case, it actually kind of made sense to leave the error. The spelling mistake on the ship's hull was a kind of omen that she was doomed....
@EliotWilson2 His tenure as PM was scuppered from day one. No majority in Parliament, parachuted in by an unpopular president to make sweeping budget cuts. It'd be interesting to see how he would perform if he got to put his agenda directly to the voters.
