Parliament needs overhaul
From: James Brown, Scarborough.
I READ with interest Tom Richmond’s paragraph about Parliamentary tradition (The Yorkshire Post, February 2). My question is why reform only the voting system?
The whole show, and I use that word with meaning, is a joke – the building they are using is outdated in facilities and falling down. The whole system needs overhauling. If the traditional parts are worth keeping for whatever reason, they should be retained as a theme park just for the tourists.
It is time for the whole system to be moved away from London into a brand new building fit for modern government using modern offices, a modern assembly room and seating that encourages co-operation and not confrontation.
Do away with the old medieval system and let us have something that works, not something that is a joke to the rest of Europe and the world. You only have to see what a fiasco that Brexit has become to see that this is what is needed.

I WONDER who Lib Dem peer William Wallace (The Yorkshire Post, February 8) thinks he is? A £300-a-day Lords payment for constantly trying run down Britain with his anti-Brexit rhetoric.
