Is anyone else interested? I'm not party political, because I find to much that is disagreeable about the various parties, for every plus point theres an equal minus one.
I realise this might be contravercial to some, is politics a taboo subject on here?
What autism friendly policies would you like to see parties take up?
Switzerland has the best idea. They dont really have a Prime Minister, they have a panel of people from a mixture of the political parties who decide things by consensus and all of them take turns to be Prime Minister. That way decisions are actually made with thought and consideration and for the good of the country rather than knee jerk reactions that they hope will win them votes and headlines or score points over the opposition like it is here.
In addition the Swiss have referundums over almost everything, giving the people the chance to decide what decisions are made for the country and therefore making the nation truly democratic. They even had a refurendum over whether to have a Covid lockdown. There are many reasons Id like to live in Switzerland, it is ordered and logical and calm for one, but this is another one

The Scottish independence referendum and the brexit referendum have put me off referenda for life.
They are incredibly polarising and most people are utterly ignorant of the issues and fall prey misinformation.
I was in favour of referenda until the one on should we replace FPTP. Oh that was such a disaster! I think that must have been the final nail in the coffin of any hope I ever had in politics. The question should have been "should we keep FPTP or replace it with something else, to be decided if we agree to a change" NOT pick a system most people thought was not suitable and offer that as the only alternative.
