SNP MHAIRI BLACK MAIDEN SPEECH ROCKED HOUSE OF COMMONS


SNP Mhairi Black, 20, became MP for the constituency of Renfrewshire South in the last General Election in May 2015.

She gave her Maiden Speech only now because she is still studying at the University of Glasgow, reading politics, and wanted that to be finished first. She also gave herself time to listen to other speeches from various parties.

Ms Black raised many good points in her speech which was fully reported in the Guardian.

She pointed out that she is the only 20 year old who receives housing benefit from the Chancellor George Osborne since he axed housing benefit for under 21 in his last budget. Ms Black criticised the Conservative Party very heavily for cancelling the housing benefit. She found it ridiculous that she alone, in the UK, will be entitled to because being a MP and has to have a second home in London

The remark caused laughter across the House of Common.

She made a point that she does not rub salt into the wounds of Labour for having lost the seats in Scotland to the SNP and with it the General Election but she would asked Labour and other parties for joining them for a good opposition.

Mhairi Black said: “I would reach out a genuine hand of friendship that I can only hope will be taken. Let us come together. Let us be the opposition. Ultimately people are in need of a voice, people need help. Let’s give them it.”

Black added further: “Yes, we will have political differences, yes in Parliaments we maybe opposite parties, but within the chamber we are not.  No matter how much I may wish it, the SNP is not the sole opposition to this government – but nor is the Labour party. It is together with all the parties on these benches that we must form an opposition, and in order to be effective we must do so by opposing not abstaining.”

Ms Black received a great applause and apparently it is not in the rules to applause a speaker.  The MPs were reprimanded but the speech was so tremendous with a real fresh outlook therefore the MPs could not stop themselves to show their enthusiasm.

She also did not spare on words to explain why Labour lost so heavily to SNP.  She told them that people were angry and felt that Labour lost touch with the people in Scotland.

Mhairi Black has the entire right attitude and put it into words which reach people.
Her constituency was run by LibDem Douglas Alexander and is one of the poorest. 

Will she be able to turn it around? After all in the House of Common exists a political war and most of the MPs are only interested to rise and bring others down. They are not interested in people to get a better life and it comes through many times in her speech.

Especially now with Tory’s budget of £12billion Welfare cuts being forced through.

Personally I wish her al the luck and success. Ms Black has certainly the right attitude which was need for a long time.

The Labour Party were praising her speech greatly today. which is a very good sign.

CAMERON FOREVER CHANGES HIS PLEDGES update 9 August, 2017

and so does PM May now. Some times there is only 2 or 3 days  or weeks where she changes her mind again. Some times she has to because her first decision was irresponsible.
CAMERON'S PLEDGE

At first PM David Cameron announced: “We do not support English Nationalists, we do not want an English Parliament, we are a Conservative and Unionist Party through and through.”

Now Cameron new pledge is ‘Home Rule’ for England, Wales, N. Ireland and Scotland but Cameron’s priority is ‘Home Rule’ for England.  He is now breaking up the United Kingdom.  He is pledging that the new Conservative Government will have the new system in place for the first budget of the new Parliament in March 2016.

=================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS,  THANK YOU.
=================================================
The constant changing of Cameron’s mind, pledges and unfulfilled promises are becoming a joke.

No matter what party you follow but you do want proper guide lines from the leader of the party to know what will be the future. You also want to have the previous promises fulfilled.
.
It is also baffling when Scotland wanted Independence many party leaders, including Cameron, flew up there to persuade the people to say NO.  He was barely back when he started a campaign to have Scotland out. Why did he go up there in the first place and ran a campaign for Scotland to stay in the UK? 

If it was his own speech on ‘Home Rule’ then he should check his statements he made before. If his speech was written by any of his 95 advisers David Cameron should check it before he made his speech.  His 95 advisers costing the taxpayers £4billion a year and the voters are getting nothing but contradiction and empty promises.  Voters also getting tired of the constant criticism of Ed Miliband the Labour Leader. 

The poster of showing Ed Miliband having a stroke was really low beyond words. Also it was never revealed who done the poster but the Tory minister of the constituency admitted that she knows who done it but would not give the name.

Again Cameron tried to bring Labour down with Labour’s previous immigration programme. Ed Miliband admits that Labour had it wrong and he will have a different immigration policy but even after that Cameron churns it up again and trying to make hay of it. When you are in a spotlight you make sure your facts are correct and do not lash out discriminate.

Cameron stated only to trust the Tories on immigration. Jan 1, 2014 the EU opened the borders to Bulgaria and Romania. Cameron sat back and done nothing to prevent the huge influx of people coming from these new areas.  When people complained he promised to bring down immigration to 100,000. Last year it was over 250,000. Now he is boasting Tories can be trusted on immigration. Another contradiction.
     
David Cameron‘s campaign is run so badly that the Mail online reported Business leaders voicing fears over ‘disastrous and negative Tory campaign’.  These executives are mostly Conservatives through and through and to launch openly such an attack should make all Cameron  the warning bells ringing. They too think Cameron’s constant attacks on Labour and Ed Miliband do nothing for the electorates and will not win the election.  Voters want to know the exact plan of their Conservative Party and so far got very little.

CAMERON VOWS TO STOP SCOTS MPS VOTING ON ENGLAND

Why did he go to Scotland and fought for them to stay in the UK?

Barely a few days after the referendum won a NO vote to the Independence of Scotland devious Dave vows to strip Scots MPs of Westminster Power.  English nationalism is as dangerous as Scottish nationalism but that is not the reason behind it. The pure reason is to prepare for the next General Election in May 2015. Again Cameron is planning a system to bring it through in high speed by November. If it passes through Parliament then Scotland would not be able to vote on English Laws or vice versa.  This tactic is purely for the advantage of the Tories.

Cameron also plans to set up a committee (mark -- another committee which cost taxpayers’ money) and the head will be William Hague to discuss English question.  What is the House of Commons and Prime Minister Question time for?

===================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
===================================================

If Cameron will go through with these ideas it will confront the Scottish people.  He does not seem to realise that the YES vote was very high and only 400,000 more were voting NO.  It is too dangerous to gamble on that loyalty to the United Kingdom in the near or far future.  This point is not in the Prime Minister’s principle and mind.  His only aim is to split the Labour Party with its main loyalty lying in Scotland.

It is also remarkable that UKIP Nigel Farage seems to have slipped out from under the cover of “every man’s Joe” and joins David Cameron in his plan. Is it already a move towards a coalition if the Tories do not win the majority in the next General Election?  Is Farage showing now his real and true colours? After all there are enough Tories “deserters” in his party to jump back again. Was the pretence of an alternative party just to fool people and to gather votes for the moment to back the Tories?  To this writer all the question is a yes.

Labour leader Ed Miliband and even LibDem Nick Clegg admitted that the Parliament is in a shamble.  It is now the moment represented by Cameron for Labour to go all out to win back the doubters and followers of UKIP and Tories whose parties have turned on Scotland.

David Cameron is not planning to turn England for the better such as free prescription which is available in Scotland and Wales just to name one advantage.  He purely does it for the advantage of his Tory Party and tries to establish a Tory kingdom in England where he and his followers can reign forever and turn it back to Victorian times for ordinary people.

The Labour party has 59 seats in Scotland and with them being cut off the win in the next General Election will be certain.  The old saying “Divide and Rule” is at the back of the Tories’ minds and always had been.

If Cameron gets his idea through Parliament it not only alienates the Scottish people but also the rest of the general public. Therefore, the appeal goes already out to use your vote and use it wisely. As you can see the UKIP is not an alternative which people were hoping for and made to believe. Labour at the moment has to get to back to full strength if it wants to win in the next election.  It is not easy with all the laws and regulation applied by the Tories for their own good plus Tony Blair, another hypocrite who turned out to be a Thatcher's boy. Ed Miliband tries hard to bring Labour back to its full power. And he will.

UPDATE:  23 September, 2014

UKIP Nigel Farage goes one step further and is now beating the drum and trying to persuade the Scottish MPs to sign a voluntary agreement not to vote on English laws and legislation till PM David Cameron is able to get it through Parliament and establishes it as law.

Why did Nigel Farage and David Cameron go to Scotland and campaign for a NO vote?  If they wanted to get rid of Scottish MPs' votes, mainly Labour, they could have achieved it that way and saved the taxpayers’ money.
