Bottom line would you happily hand over an extra £1500 cash per year than someone elsewhere in the UK? I'd gladly pay more tax for free healthcare here in the States. I'm sure most people here would like free higher education too, or even affordable higher education. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t there a clear division in political allegiance in the USA between those with and without college degrees?

However, I've definitely found the more outspoken Jesus-loving, gun-tooting, low wage individuals to be openly republican and just plain thick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as big a gap as I thought but still quite relevant; relates to white voters primarily. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2018/11/education-gap-explains-american-politics/575113/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like this proposal, assuming you're talking about 'picked at random' from the entire eligible adult population of the UK. It could theoretically result in entertaining situations like Roman Catholic Celtic supporters representing staunch Ulster constituencies, the next Fred West serving as Minister of State for Children, Young People, and Families, Harold Shipman as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care etc. Obviously there's a fundamental problem with the last two, being as they're both dead, but the potential for all sorts of hilarity is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk would be getting their knickers in a twist about Shipman and his ilk, but the fact remains, he's killed nowhere near as many folk as the DWP under the Tories. There you go.

When faced with an overstretched health service involving too many patients and not enough doctors, he came up with his own solutions. Don't seem to see so much of that forward thinking nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
