Engaging with the Great Reform Bill 2029 idea, it’s a masterstroke. In an era of short-termism, Lee’s proposal for a omnibus bill echoes the 1832 Act’s transformative power, bundling fixes to overwhelm opposition and deliver systemic reset. It’s not pie-in-the-sky; it’s pragmatic radicalism, recognising that piecemeal tweaks won’t cut it against the “malign web.”

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Burn the curajus state down. Free speech. Small government. Deportations. I want the lot and will vote accordingly.
The Bristol Channel tidal barrage should have been built decades ago. The same for the Thames, including an extra airport for London (Boris Island = athird runway at Heathrow is absurd) road/rail links between Essex and Kent and a rail link to the Channel Tunnel.
I think it is pie in the sky wishing.
If the authorities wanted to change things and get things done (such as NickM outlined) they would have done it already. As they haven’t then they must be happy with the way things are.
The major obstacle with The Great Reform Bill (of any year in the future you care to pick) is that it will have to be compiled by Civil Servants and voted in by Parliament, both of which are part of those self same authorities that are happy with things as they stand.
Just because 90% of the country want something doesn’t mean that Parliament or the Civil Service will implement it.
