 Greater Manchester Metrolink: 27 Oct 2004: Westminster Hall debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
In Greater Manchester as a whole, the Manchester chamber of commerce, the Transport and General Workers Union, of which I am a proud member, and Unison are all firm supporters of Metrolink phase 3.
Metrolink is the lynchpin in my constituency and in that of the Deputy Leader of the House of Commons of the housing market renewal pathfinder, which is an enormous £2.5 billion public-private investment in housing and community development throughout the Oldham-Rochdale area during the next 10 to 15 years.
My constituency is on the "flight path" of many of those going to the airport along the ground, so the pollution, congestion and environmental disbenefits of surface transport to the airport are very much in their minds.

But if they got their own parliament again, then they could point to it knowing it was originally founded in 1153 and existed as the very Mother of Parliaments and the seed bed of modern democracy, and proudly say, that’s part of what we’ve achieved as the English nation.
The UK Parliament and Government will henceforth be greatly slimmed down institutions dealing only with reserved matters that affect the whole of the UK, so there should not be any increase in bureaucracy and expenditure.
Secondly, the UK Parliament would naturally retain responsibilities for the major matters concerning the whole, like defence, major taxation, foreign relations, matters of macro economics and matters of trade and transport which affect the whole of the UK.

The case for a world parliament is global civilisation working together constructively in the way an idealistic scientist views progress rather than at cross-purposes in tribal zero-sum games.
This allows personal contact between the MP and his constituents, and prevents success in elections relying too heavily on a candidate's media image.
In negotiating the creation of a world parliament, influential constituencies could bargain for greater voting power, though the average would be 1 vote.

Writing a letter about a problem, rather than telephoning, is a good idea as you can explain things clearly and your MP will have the written details of your case which he or she may find it useful to refer to later.
It is also sometimes possible to contact your MP by telephoning his or her local constituency office.

 Mind control and the Greater Manchester Democratic Socialist Alliance launch
The SA should have led to an organisation like the SSP, which now has six members of the Scottish Parliament, but it was dominated, wrecked and then dissolved by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), whose leadership has always been dominated by conspiratorial organisations on the side of big business.
Whereas in Scotland, socialists are united in the SSP, which now has six members of the Scottish parliament (MSPs), sectarianism from some socialist organisations (particularly the SWP and Socialist Party) is proving a big barrier to building similar organisations in England and Wales.
