So, Heathrow........

Will21st

did I say that? Fact is new runways should've been built a long time ago.

Member 581642

Yes , but they weren't so we live with what we have now and therefore it takes time

Will21st

should've ended your statement at 'Yes', cause there's nothing more to say. Complete shambles that is hurting our economy.

Politicians worry about getting elected.  Not the economy.

Member 581642

The two aren't  mutually exclusive

Member 581642

In fact that makes no sense , the electorate vote for a mp so being elected therefore reflects the electorate .

Aren't MPs so supposed to do that

IronGiant

I think (possibly) the point is if the MP is correctly representing his electorate, he's going to be representing their views rather than considering whether a runway on top of their houses is good for The City and the Economy.

Member 581642

You are correct in your summation

So long as people are given a fair price for their house and maybe new homes built identical to the ones knocked down for them to move in free of charge, not too far away, then i'm sure nobody would mind

Member 581642

No, some people invest in theirs homes more than money .
