Proposals for Political System Reform and Economic Growth

The current political system creates unfairness with limited options for reform, such as introducing more proportional elections in various parts of the polity. Consideration could be given to proportional representation in the upper house if the House of Lords is eliminated. Empowering lower levels of governance with proportional representation may be beneficial. Addressing the issue of gerontocracy in the voting system and its impact on economic growth, building more houses could lead to increased growth rates and a happier country, especially for the younger population. However, the opposition from the elderly to house construction presents a fundamental challenge, as their power in the voting system acts as a blocking majority. The interconnected nature of problems in Britain requires addressing infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and other concerns alongside house construction, necessitating both economic and political actions. These reforms could prove challenging in times of financial constraints.
