English Votes for English Laws

About time this was brought into effect. I fail to understand how the SNP can reasonably expect to vote on their own affairs and on England's too.

No they're not. Precisely because when I saw you had posted I didn't want to get involved.

"Literally the only point you've even attempted to respond to involves boundaries, the changes to which again benefit the Tories on top of the fact they're the only party which doesn't tend to rely on any MPs outside England to deliver majorities on votes."

I have responded to most of the points you made, but you just don't like my answers.

Re the above, apparently I'm the one whose 'totes' being unreasonable, but you can't even begin to see that electoral boundaries in England have been unfair to the Conservatives for a very long time, yet why that should be so - and in ensuring that all MPs have a similar sized constituency they represent, its a change that automatically benefits the Tories (currently at a disadvantage) when seats change party hands.

So the ones who want a separate 'English Parliament', I reiterate, are happy that they roar as loud for their 566 English constituencies for extra powers and a bigger piece of the UK pie, as the Scottish Westminster MPs (56 being SNP) currently roars for theirs. Got it, it could catch on.

Same, sorry isitme but your posting style IS offputting, people want to talk and exchange views not read reams of text and links from you, I know that you're trying to inform people but it's such a bombarding way of doing things. It stops any flow of discussion on a thread, imo.

GiddyOnZackHunt ... which is your choice and we have to assume you had something to say that couldn't be said because the 'big bad underliner' is on the post. Lame.

You can assume what you like.

Lemonfizzypop ... as I said, there are loads of posts/threads I don't get involved on, so knock yourself out on those.

FYI there are loads of posts/posters that get on my tits, but it seems for those trying to blank out opinions they don't like, its my underling, its my bold, my post makes no sense am I English, my sentencing is badly structured, my granma is a problem, I'm too partisan, yada, yada, yada.

As it will help, I'll concentrate on the more political posts, especially the misleading ones - and start posts on Conservative policies and the economic, financial, jobs results since 2010 - rather than defend them with facts from the rollocks written on here.

I rather not, I didn't even do that at General Election times, but people want to 'politically chat', they can join me on there, I'll even use less Mumsnet 'Emphasis' tools. It will be happy days, all over again.

GiddyOnZackHunt .... "You can assume what you like."

Thankfully I don't have to assume much, you're like an open book.

P.S. Little gangs hounding other posters will always turn more posters off, more than someone spending time to formulate and present the facts in a post as they see them.

Thankfully I have a very thick skin and can bite back, otherwise this little 'font' of common sense would end up like a little wallflower, and even be scared to read Mumsnet posts, never mind contribute.

Isitmebut, no one has asked you to stop posting, all they are asking (and begging and pleading) is that you do so without such diatribes that put many posters off reading your posts and contributing to threads in case they are met with a barrage of baloney in bold highlighting in response, which doesn't answer what they asked, ignores their contribution and praises the Conservative cabinet when that is not the topic of discussion.

Basically chill out a bit, and contribute in a more friendly fashion.

It is not a wrestling match, it's a discussion, and a bit of humour is much appreciated to keep it light and friendly.

It's patently obvious that you think you are clever, but there seems to be a huge disconnect, because I have yet to find anyone else who does, not even your mother.

'Thankfully I have a very thick skin and can bite back'

So does a bull in a china shop, but would be equally out of place in an educated discussion forum where posters want to discuss politics and have a bit of a laugh about Piggate as well.

Oooohhhhh burrnnnnnn

Soooooo comrade claig and blacksunday, with nothing to ADD to the subject of English Votes for English Laws I have been addressing, but have their own agenda, join the gagging/presentation gang - kel (fecking) suprize Rodney.

If the board had to rely on your own partisan input, Mumsnet News/Politics could be bottled as a cure for insomnia.
