		Those who live in Knighton and Presteigne have no access to either Llandrindod Wells or Newtown, and we already have anecdotal stories of people hitch-hiking to court and of witnesses having to be ferried to court by solicitors.
		Naturally, some representatives—particularly those representing the Newtown and Brecon areas—felt that they could not object because of the risk of losing their courts as well.
		The decision to close the courts was reached after a period of consultation with both the paying authority and a wide variety of stakeholders, and it went beyond the guidance note issued by the Central Council of Magistrates Courts Committees.

		What is worrying is that this motley collection of ex-convicts, discharged squaddies and ‘renegade intellectuals’ received their highest ever vote in the recent elections, polling more than 800,000 individual votes, just under 4% of the national poll.
		Combined with the 8% received by the celebrity driven UK Independence Party, this means that well over 10% of the British population, who could actually be bothered to go out and vote, supported parties of the far right.

	Women in Parliament: The Current Situation - Briefing Paper 09/2003 dated 12/05/2003 - NSW Parliament
		Greater representation of women in parliament is said to improve the status of women outside the parliament as women are seen as having a role in the public as well as the private sphere.
		In both the federal and NSW parliaments, proportional representation is used to elect members of the upper house whilst the preferential system is used for the lower house.
		As most members of Australian parliaments are elected because they belong to a particular political party, it follows that political parties have a significant role to play in determining the level of female representation in Australia.

		The police appeared to be containing and simultaneously ignoring the damage inflicted on the community of Newtown for the greater good, in this case a quiet life and the subjugation of a potentially troublesome community, with people too scared to leave their homes, let alone getting organised and demanding answers to exacting questions.
