At least that would be the sensible way to implement stricter border controls. However, they seem to be discussing the colour of the cover above all else and they don't yet know what our border strategy will be. De la rue's contract is up for retender in 2019. So i predict a costly shambles given the uncertainty.04-04-2017, 01:30 PM

It would be perfect if we did but it costs lots of money we don't have to improve things, at a time of across the board cuts.

The House of Lords should be abolished in its present state and substituted with an elected body of perhaps 100 members (the same number as the American Senate - do we need more than them?).

If they want more public support, and votes, they need to offer what the majority of people want and not concentrate on their own personal opinions.
The present weakness of the Labour and Limp Dem parties is as a result of this very thing.

How would that save billions though? To make everything super efficient would cost billions and take years. If history is anything to go by the next government would spend billions more changing it again. This seems to be how we get things done in the uk. One step forward two steps back.|
