Publisher's Synopsis
What The People Missed is David G. Reed's alternative answer to some of the issues Parliament has failed to resolve over recent years. The book touches upon topics such as alternative concepts for the defence of the citizen, the period of detention without trial, the problem of housing built on flood plains, carrying knives and the future of the police force. ‘Parliament is elected by the people and it spends very long periods discussing many varied topics. To decide whether fox-hunting should be abolished took some 5 years. The debate about how long a suspect can be detained without charge has been under discussion for over a decade,' notes David. ‘However, when auditors said the restaurant within Parliament was liable to VAT, Parliament took a mere 24 hours to exempt it...' What the people need, and want, are faster solutions saving millions of pounds. This book looks at a range of topics that Parliament has failed to resolve and tries to show some smaller, quicker and cheaper answers.
