says rather a lot about them maybe they should cull even more? - 5 September 2011 09:51124770This was a Conservative pledge in the election and so it is right that this be pursued. A deeper cull is difficult due to the executive largely emanating from the legislature. A smaller legislature would be possible only if we had a directly elected executive because reducing the size of the legislature would reduce the power and influence of the backbenchers further. Personally I prefer the executive to be answerable to the legislature in a direct way and allowing room for more maverick or backbench personalities.
