In England any MP may introduce bills. Weather they get a hearing depends on his party affiliation and seniority. The Telegraph is holding a survey of the public to ask what issue the parliament should actually consider. Offerings from the readership were collected and the Telegraph picked six. Some of the suggested items sound like absolute lunacy, but they made the finals list.
My favorite was number six:
Repeal the ban on hand guns and re-open shooting clubs, proposed by
Colliemum. They write: "After all, why should only criminals be
'allowed' to possess guns and shoot unarmed, defenceless citizens and police
officers?"
A worthy suggestion. Our British cousins seem to think so as well as this one is the hands-down leader with 85% of the vote.
What do you suppose the odds are that this suggestion will be mentioned in the halls of parliament?
