The Director of Public Prosecutions seems to think that the way to safeguard human rights is to protect the Human Rights Act from repeal by the wicked Tories.
I would suggest otherwise: the creation of a single political party where
- members' rights are not easily set aside by the leader and his cronies
- expulsion of a member cannot be effected until the majority of the party have had a chance to vote on it after a proper hearing
- the constitution can be changed by the majority of its members
At the moment it is quite clear that Tory MPs are demoted and expelled by Cameron for saying anything he dislikes or thinks the public will dislike.
Patrick Mercer, Nigel Hastilow and Alan Duncan are the most revealing examples.
The way the LibLabCon party leaders have hung their members out to dry over expenses after denying them an opportunity to vote on their own pay rise is even more dishonourable than the attempt to milk the system for as much as they could.
Why a one-party state?
Because that is the only way to allow all members to have a free vote and to abolish the whipping system. It would at least put MPs in touch with their consciences, convictions and principles, were they to by any chance recognise such concepts after such a long separation.
It would also make them keener to consult and represent the people and act without fear or favour.
