    Does the Prime Minister have any plans to fight internet trolls?

    It is in effect a single benefit which makes the system much simpler and also did not require excess taxation given the details of the bill. I did however abstain on that bill as i do not agree with the amounts or eligibility and will look to amend these (higher welfare payments>less incentive to work).
    Mr Speaker, is it right to then infer that the PM believes the amount of Citizen's Income should not reflect the basic costs needed to live above the poverty line?

    June or July, largely depends on when Jarred finishes his exams.

    £162 is far above what is required for basic needs and i say that as somebody that has spent time on JSA before university and has parents on benefits.

    What's your opinion of the UK's place in the Eurovision Song Contest, and that of the position of Romania?
    Romania were poor and we were average however politics played its part and we had an abysmal result.

    Serbia was best.

    M. Speaker, I would like to enquire as to the Premier's plans on re-regulating the banking industry to one similar to that of Liechtenstein's :banana:

    (Also your vacation plans please )!
    I will analyse Litchenstine's banking system and respond at a later date.

    None, too poor.

    Mr Speaker, would the PM please reveal what his favourite fruits are to have in a pitcher of Pimm's?
    Not a fan of Pimm's, Dissorano for me.

    Strawberry and Bannana are my favourate fruits.

    Mr Speaker, will the prime minister join me in celebrating the retention of the monarchy and the Queen as our head of state?
    Indeed, the people decided and i respect their decision.

    Shame i did not get to see the guilitine in action.

    May I ask if the prime minister has any plans to revive disco?
    A matter for the private sector.

    Further to my question above, will the PM join me in deploring rhubarb as an abomination of all that is right and good?

    Rhubarb in Pimms? The best use for rhubarb is in a crumble having been stewed in its own juices and a healthy (or not-so) amount of sugar on a low heat. Best dessert in the world is that.

    I think Romania should have won, I like their song much more than the others. Zaleilah!

    The TSR economy is in much better shape than RL.
    How do you know? This is the problem with having all bills "stack", we don't actually have a clue about how any of the bills will affect well, pretty much anything. We can guess, but that's the only thing we can do: guess. I'm not sure myself on where I stand on this, but it's something I've been thinking. Why do all bills stay current, like that's the current state of play? It then makes it very hard and inconvenient to create new bills, seeing as we don't have a clue on what things are like. Also, what if I see something IRL I want to write a bill about, then come on here and find out it somehow no longer applies because of some other bill? When people join they'll try to make bills about thing they see in everyday life, not some obscure year old bill that they've never heard of that makes it impossible for them to do this. Personally, I don't see why bills have to stack. Fair enough, we can propose bills, but after we propose them then why can't we go back to tracking RL? It would make things so much easier.

    This is the model House of Commons. If you don't want to take part in what is essentially a simulation then go run for Parliament. If users want to deal completely with RL then they should stick to the UK Politics general forum - the point here is to show what an alternative legislature might look like. Scrapping that principle would ruin it, as the GRA did a few years back.

    No, not in Pimm's

    Never tried rhubarb crumble. It's too sour on its own though.

    I entirely agree.


    Mr Speaker, where does the Prime Minister stand on therapeutic cloning?

    Mr Speaker, how would the PM respond to the idea of bringing languages as a compulsory GCSE subject and increase its hours of teaching throughout primary and secondary schools?
