I have a cunning plan.

Let's demolish the Houses of Parliament.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33184160

£5.7 Billion to repair it. No thanks.
Demolish it.

Build a smaller (much smaller) building to house the ELECTED members of parliament.
Disband the Lords (saving several hundred other millions)

Sell of a huge swathe of property in a highly desirable riverside location for Billions more.

Perhaps they could then modify the changes to Tax Credit cuts (modification is still necessary).

Win Win! wink.gif

£5.7 billion is good value. The amount of tourists that come here because of it will pay for itself over time. You can't keep dismantling historic monuments because of a little thing like money getting in the way. The overall value is worth more.

I feel sure there is rather a lot of people that would not agree with you considering how low in esteem politicians are held at the moment? Especially when they have just been informed that there is no money in the kitty for even some of the basics left for survival supposedly and millions are being cut to the least well off! unsure.gif
