    A great shame that parish level politics permit candidates to state political party allegiances and receive party support. It encourages voters to focus on tribal issues rather than the quality of the candidates, and makes elected members obey instructions from tribal elders rather than make up their own minds on the matters before the council. If I ruled the world I would ban tribalism from all except general elections.

    Furthermore I would disqualify anyone who has ever been an MP from sitting in the Lords. If someone has retired as an MP they have retired on a good pension and are in no need of daily allowances to top it up. If they have been voted out, there's a message that they aren't wanted in politics any more at any level.
