We are getting a reduction in MPs at the next election, 50 less, hopefully some reduction to the numbers in the House of Lords will come in the future too but my hope is that soon what we really achieve and have in politics are 'quality' MPs and Councillors etc; rather than 'quantity'.
I agree with what you say Joey, but the higher ups in these Governments I hate.

I also think that the system is outdated and needs to be brought up to date somehow.
