There's also the corollary to that: if the opposition makes a sensible suggestion, the governing party immediately can't use it. This is a problem on two levels: good ideas go to waste and the opposition can use this method to bork policy. Of course, 'tis we wot suffer.

If all the parties agreed what would be the point of parties?

property tax has never been removed. Except for a failed attempt by one M Thatcher. It's called council tax.

we've got 2.5GW coming from 'Le Continent' and a bit of oil and OCGT available. Most of the nukes are up and running, and it looks like so is the coal.
