mp`s debate

right at the top of the page is a counter for the petition for mps to debate financial education,telling us if 100,000 sign it will be debated,thats being abit economical with the truth
this and other such petitions will be considered by the govt for debate,no gaurantees no promises
perhaps mse should make that clear whilst encouraging people to sign
personally i wouldnt sign any of these petitions are they are mostly pr stunts

    Yup, the message from the top is shut up and get lost.

    Yes, democracy in action : they don't care what the general population tell them to do. They ignore it. It's not their cup of tea. Got their own ideas.

    The will of the people? In your dreams. On yer bike, sunshine.
