Our system of governance v. the Russian.
It is one of those weeks when I was finding it hard to come up with something to write about especially with the entire focus on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Then I got to thinking the very simple thought that however bad we feel our governance is we clearly have to be thankful we don't live in Putin's Russia.
This link is good summary and reminder of Putin's 2018 Presidential victory which I'm afraid you will need to cut and paste as it doesn't open of this Google blog for some reason.

At least at our General Elections we can vote out a Prime Minster and his/her government and in the last 77 years we have had seven changes of governments, between Labour and the Conservatives, that is since 1945.
I still believe very strongly that our system of governance is no longer fit for purpose which is why I've been involved with The Harrogate Agenda and its six demands for the past 10 years.
There is one undisputed fact about our Agenda and that is that it exists and while anybody can support all or just some of our demands they can never claim to have invented them!
