EXPLANATION OF IDEA
Our proposal questions the need for 1st and 2nd MP's homes. With the Gap between rich and poor widening, political disenchantment increasing and public ownership diminishment the MPS expenses fiasco scratches at the surface of our political crisis. Our proposal reinforces the need for elected representatives to live and govern with their local area.

It suggests that we create local places of assembly for debate, protest, discussion and action. The local and regional assemblies would be connected by a renationalised transport network of rail + ferry Westminster would cease to exist in its current form. Elected representatives would greater reflect the population (Young people, elderly, etc.)
