Which is even more worrying. We have a minister that is more concerned with where ideas came from, than what good/damage they could actually do to the country.
That's party politics for you unfortunately, pretty much all the conservative ministers will have similar voting records, most of the labour shadow ministers will have similar voting records and most of the lib dem ministers will have similar voting records. Party rebels tend not to get ministerial roles.
Soldato
Yup, and that is the problem with a party based system. Every party based system. It really does need to end.
The problem is, if all MP's were independent, with a publicly voted PM, EVERY decision and debate would take forever.
Soldato
Why? Think of the money we could save on the NHS! Ginsing tea and arrowroot has to be cheaper than a heart transplant, surely?
Soldato
We do, but not many. And they are all being phased out. Universities are dropping Homeopathy courses too.
Unfortunately so, however I think it would be a bit of a push to blame Hunt for those.
will the phase out continue though or will it now be stopped?
Common sense would dictate the phase would be continued, but I wouldn't be surprised if the opinion/beliefs of one individual in power would be enough to stop or reverse the process.
Wow. I knew the Tories would be bad, but this is just hilariously bad. Anyone missing Labour yet?
Lol no, we are still paying for the debt they left us in.
a phrase that should never be used when referring to government policy
I probably should have inserted a humourous rolly-eyed smily there...
Sad state of affairs this nation finds itself in when in a great time of need. I'm not convinced the current weak Government is going to turn itself into this fabled Tory majority either. Cameron is out after this term surely.
:/
Almost beyond words.

Meh, Cabinet reshuffles are sort of like asking you what colour broken glass you'd prefer to drag your balls across a mile of anyway, regardless of whose in power.
Soldato
Behave. People are entitled to vote how they want without your ridicule.
Going by the general consensus on the forum and in regards to the defining of Racial Hatred, Homophobia et al as "Freedom of Speech" is exactly what the people want....
And as strange and disconcerting as it may be I actually agree with Kwerk (sort of), it is more worrying that we even need an Equality Minister in modern society in the first place rather than the choice of who it is.

With the cabinet shuffle, the UK now has:
Secretary of Transport - Scared of flying.
Secretary of Health - Calls the NHS a "60-year old mistake", opposes abortion, opposes stem cell research, and advocates homoeopathy as viable treatment.
Secretary of Environment - Climate change sceptic.
Secretary of Justice - Believes businesses should be able to discriminate against homosexuals.
Secretary for Women and Equalities - Hates equality and women.
Ingenious selections there..
