Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has called for the Queen's Speech
to be cancelled and replaced with emergency reforms to "clean up politics".
The speech this Wednesday will be used to set out the government's
legislative programme for the coming year.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8361715.stm
But Mr Clegg said there was not enough time for most bills in it to
become law before an election - and it was merely being used as a
Labour manifesto.
Labour said "most" measures would become law and were "very
important".
But Mr Clegg accused Labour of "hijacking" the Queen's Speech for
"political ends".
He said it was being used as a "displacement activity" by the
government to create the impression of action when it "must know in
its heart of hearts that the vast majority of measures it will be
proposing on Wednesday won't even make it into law".
The Lib Dem leader said that what he claimed were the 70 days of
parliamentary business remaining before a general election should be
used by MPs to bring in measures to reform politics, in order to "hand
on a legacy to the next Parliament".
"Even though many people think the expenses issue is being dealt with,
many of the problems at the heart of our political system are still
there," said Mr Clegg.
These included the voting system, curbing the power of the party whips
and party funding, argued Mr Clegg, adding that without further reform
"my fear is that some sort of scandal will just re-erupt in a few
years time".
But Harriet Harman, who as Commons leader helps decide which bills are
given parliamentary time, said the "most" of the measures in the
Queen's Speech would have time to be made into law.
She told BBC News: "There is very important work ahead and that's why
the Queen's Speech this week is going to be very significant."
She said the speech would include measures to boost financial
stability, curb "excessive risk taking" in the City, crack down on
gang violence and give more help to families caring for elderly
relatives.
She told the BBC News channel: "I don't think it is right that we
should be clocking-off now before a general election, which probably
won't be until next year."
And she denied this year's Queen's Speech would be a "party political
manifesto", saying it was the "the responsibility of government and we
are going to get on with it, even if Nick Clegg thinks we should just
clock-off".
In an article for The Independent, Mr Clegg said he wanted Parliament
to quickly adopt new powers to sack corrupt MPs and to abolish
hereditary peers.
He also called for the immediate adoption of a report - due this week
- on reducing the power of whips in Parliament, whom he said "ride
roughshod over the views of" MPs.
He said the "glitz and glamour" of the Queen's Speech - which also
involves the state opening of Parliament - would be "based on a
complete fiction" because there were only 70 sitting days left and he
said laws took, on average, 240 days to pass from the first to last
stage.
He also used the newspaper comment piece to call for the establishment
of a Committee on Electoral Reform, made up of 100 citizens, to
consult on a new electoral system and take its proposals to a
referendum.

Stop firing rockets and mortar rounds into Israel islamoretard.
Stop sponsoring terrorism against Israel islamoretard. Both
of the above actions are commonly called acts of War.
BTW, your muslime fuck brethren in the Gaza Shite should
also stop persecuting Christians while they're at it.
Oh, and FOAD, painfully.
