Oh, surprise surprise.  Hello Flint.  Fancy seeing you here.

And also, surprise surprise, you've *totally* missed the point of what I was saying. 

Come back and talk to me Flint when you've actually understood the topic.

In fact, don't try and engage with me on topics which require the use of higher brain functions as I don't think you have any.  This especially includes topics on physics and science, a subject area you know woefully little on and are far too easily swayed by the mass media and non-peer reviewed sources.

So now the election dust has settled I feel I should now vent some of my concerns over the new policies emerging about Education, Economy and Political Freedom.

Education
The government has announced the plans to encourage businesses and parents groups to set up their own schools semi independant from the government - These so called academies have been on trial for a while now in the UK, the last three academies to be OFSTED assessed have all been found to be unsatisfactory - The government has announced a cut in funding for state schools so they can pump more money into these academies.
They plan to allow schools to set teachers wages and timetables independantly from National Guidance, at the moment as a teacher my pay scale is in line with a national average - if I worked in a good city school my wage would be no different if I worked in a good rural school (where I currently do) - this new measure will give larger schools the ability to take teachers from smaller schools and will leave students worse off.
They plan to cut 40,000 jobs across the NHS and Education.

Economy
At the moment it is predicted the new government will raise VAT to 20% despite promises not to.
They have announced that banks need bringing under more control and be forced to lend to small businesses - however their way of doing this is to set up a commitee which in a years time will make a reccomendation to the government on how to plan their future strategy. Essentially meaning the banks are free to act how they wish for a minimum of twelve months.

Political Freedom
Two things annoy me here.
First is raising the time limit of the standard government from 4 years to 5. At the moment only exceptional circumstances (leader change etc) can let a government go for five years - They wish to make this standard essentially giving them longer in power.

Secondly they wish to raise the vote needed to dissolve parliament - at the moment 50% of MPs plus 1 is enough by our unwritten constitution to dissolve a parliament. The conservatives wish to raise this figure to 55% plus 1. This means (due to Sinn Fein not being able to sit in parliament) that if every single political party in the House of Commons ganged up on the conservatives and voted to dissolve parliament the figure is only 53% - Even though the tories are a minority government if they lose Liberal support this new measure would give them the security of a majority one. (both these measures I do believe were also employed by the Nazi party lol)

A few other things irritate me, the plan to legalise fox hunting, raising interest rates on student loans, allowing universities to up their tuition fees once more, getting rid of teachers PPA time, cutting the spending on the armed forces etc a freeze on pay for all public sector workers (NHS, Schools, Government etc) and they will campaign against any voting reform that could see the actuall percentage of votes a party recieves into account.

Rant over!
