Constituencies would be too large - at the minute we have over 600 MP's covering all of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland. quote)

Holy cow! No wonder you have problems. We have 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators in the U.S.....with a population far greater than the U.K. And still we have a hard time taming those rascals. Once the citizenry discovers that it can vote itself goodies from the public purse, it's pretty much the beginning of the end. Bankruptcy is on the horizon.

I don't see anybody on this thread longing for FREEDOM! There is way too much government in my opinion.
