Discussion Group
Organiser: Keith Batchelor
| Meeting | The group normally meets monthly on a Wednesday morning, date by arrangement. Meetings start at 10.00am.
Wednesday 13th May - I am pleased to say that we had quite a large turn out this morning to discuss the possible reintroduction of military service in the UK. While most of us recognised the benefits of possible national service of some kind, there was some disagreement as to whether this should be on a mandatory or a voluntary basis. The next meeting will be in 5 weeks time on Wednesday 17th June in Wetherspoons, Poynton. The topic is Noting the marked increase in popularity of the Reform and Green parties in recent council elections, is it still reasonable for England to continue to operate as a 2 party state? Is a first past the post voting system still appropriate or should we convert to some form of Proportional Representation in an attempt to better represent the views of the electorate or would the inevitable arrival of coalition governments restrict/prevent any significant changes in government policies? Hopefully this topic will keep us occupied for a couple of hours. See you on the 17th. Keith. If you fancy joining us for an animated discussion over a cup of coffee or two, then please contact me as indicated below. |
