House of Commons

A snip from yesterday's Guardian suggested that public support for assisted dying is even stronger than it was when last I heard, then, as I recall, around 85%. With the House of Commons voting the other way by a substantial margin.

Which caused me to wonder about what our House of Commons is good for, given that it can neither manage this sort of thing nor Brexit. Both being, as it happens, issues which cross party lines, issues for which a party solution is not appropriate. What do our elected MP's do for their £80,000 a year, plus (duck house) expenses? And to think we have the cheek to lecture other countries on the way to run their governments. Not to mention banging on about those awful people in the European Commission in Brussels.

Assisted dying being an issue which I care about, I must try and find some time to find out the relationship, if any, between reference 1 (mentioned in this piece) and reference 2 (which I notice from time to time, most recently at reference 3).
