royaloak Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 5 hours ago, chris p bacon said: A friend of mine is standing as a MRLP candidate and she certainly isn't a joke. She is doing so because after a long time in local politics where the sitting MP* hasn't served well she wants to give people a chance to say they are prepared to vote but not for any of the 'usual parties'. *Nadine Dorries aka'Mad nad' the only sitting MP to go into "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" when she should have been in parliament. Should have been de-selected but not enough party members bothered to turn up. I think your friend might be in with a chance, old mad nad is not exactly popular is she. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Actually the MRLP have been quite successful in getting their policies into action 24 hour licensing and the abolition of the dog licence being two examples No too sure about how harnessing the power of joggers to heat homes for the elderly is going but maybe with the concerns over the climate, it might gain some legs.

Nationalize Hornby Bachmann and Peco - Everything to be in a "Red" box though Free model railways for all - Model railways for the many, not the few Out of Europe with that pesky HO stuff and manufacturers with funny names. A new trade deal with the USA, but we keep our O gauge at 7mm to the foot and not 1/4" to the foot. Though the Yanks say they wouldn't touch our OO scale if it was handed to them on a platter !! A model railway tax to be paid by the higher earners and big on line sellers, Google & Amazon etc, though Hattons and Rails of Sheffield will be exempt And the big one - the environment. ALL model trains to be clockwork after 2020 - that will wind you all up !!! Analogue and DCC to be phased out by 2025 and banned outright by 2030 - a demanding target but Andy says "It's do-able" VOTE FOR ANDY - He's pure (rmweb) Gold !!!! You missed an obvious one: The new 'broad gauge' act. All real railways must be converted to four' 1" gauge so that they become prototypical 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical of the narrow-minded (sorry, no pun intended!!) outlook of Politicians these days Such a popularist stance completely ignores the wider issue (oh no not again!!!) affecting several minority groups who model in other scales where the track gauge - whilst maybe not 100% accurate - certainly isn't out by a scale 7&1/2 inches. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
