Having fewer politicians?

This has just given me an idea of how to resolve the location issue of a proposed FC Parliament. In order to deter the officious and incessant law-making that our respective Parliaments engage in, I propose a new building somewhere in the British Antarctic Territory. This would encourage and confine the Parliament�s business to that of debating essential legislation.

An innovative solution to an ancient problem: put the centre of government somewhere to which no-one in their right minds would want to spend more time than is strictly necessary. It explains a lot. Who, in the United Kingdom, would not want to spend large amounts of time in London, where all the best shops, concerts, plays, restaurants etc. are located? On the other hand, move the capital to Milton Keynes, Chorley in Lancashire, Skegness, Shoebury Ness, Leverburg on Eilan na Hearradh, or perhaps the Falklands, and you wouldn't get a politician within 100 miles of the place unless it were absolutely necessary.

Ha. Never mind the FCS, let's start the GOSS - Government On Shetland Society!
