We also need a fully elected second chamber, so the abolition of privelege by the destruction of the House of Lords and its replacement with a fully elected second chamber.
Your description of politics sounds very much like what happens here - we have a Chief Minister who can be 'invited to leave' if it turns out he's not up to the job.

Steve matey, I told you at the time you first raised this - you should have appealed against their determination, since alleged overpayments caused as a result of an office error is NOT recoverable from the individual.

I have now sent a letter to my MP....and to be honest he has taken up the case and it looks like they are listening to him as he has written to the council on my behalf and at the moment all action has be suspended pending enquiries...so maybe all is not lost ...I have also given him the details of the Benefits person i originally spoke to who admitted to me the mistake which has caused all the problems ..so fingers crossed all may not be lost ....
