    I found this extremely interesting especially as two years later Tony Blair carried out many of these procedural changes Sir Edward advocated, albeit without any Parliamentary vote or scrutiny.

    It's a very nice chat, & all very civilised, but was this really proper, rigorous, scrutiny of the mechanism of Prime Ministers Question Time?! It didn't seem to me that any of the members, here, were acting on behalf of their constituents in their line of questioning! Let's face it, this was an old boys' network!!!

    I did not agree with Heath on many things but I did admire his sheer determination to remain cantankerous and prickly. Nothing about him was smooth or the product of PR conditioning!

    He supported Pakistan back during the 1971 Bangladesh (East Pakistan) war. That is for the record.

      Western governments did because Pakistan was an anti-communist ally. This is why people railed against Nixon, although they did not stop aid being given by those festivals.

    I think it should be investigated if the state now and then is legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into full immunity to the queen, personal and functional immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the prime minister, government, parliament, cabinet, and Supreme Court for law decisions and actions. I also think it should be investigated if millions of fallen soldiers in the world wars were elected by the people or not. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death (force majeure) how will it affect people's economy, etc?
    I think the Democrat Party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to the Conservative Party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. social democrats. The reason may be that the queen (head of state) wants to govern the people with full immunity together with the prime minister, government, parliament, cabinet, and Supreme Court with functional immunity, personal immunity for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician.
    I think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the queen, prime minister, government, parliament, cabinet, and Supreme Court overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with misleading elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, serious environmental crime (force majeure).
