and they never get close to power and 70 old hands who want all kinds of things that have nothing to do with the issues in headlines and they control the committees because the rest are just too ambitious or stupid or both to wait for their time.

But this is not true. The Senate is there to slow things down. That was the intention when it was created and since then it got better a bit, cloture is now 60 votes instead of full consensus, but in essence nothing has changed. There are always like <30 loudmouth who want to be president

by one part of the state, than after this fact we spend crazy amount of money to support them using the other part of the state.
What was the plan here?!?

4. Make the Home Office work with local authorities to prepare asylum seekers for the housing crisis, give them more time to find accommodation.
Simply allowing them to work would have been enough 10 years ago, now they need more help.
We are making hundreds of refugees homeless a _day_

The long term solution is direct route for LAs to build housing for themselves, but even in the medium term a lot of people going to die living on the streets before the spring comes without radical changes.

The strategy does not mean much, unless
-local authorities get more money for TAs
-refugees get more support to find accommodation after receiving status (including more time to do that)
-local housing allowance rates not get raised, at least the shared allowance rate.

(*folk might not be a great translation, their name means folk as in folk music and people, as in "the people of England")

As it is so often the case, Hungarian politics is a premonition of what awaits the West.

Fidesz, Orbán and its policies are in large part a result of the backlash against the urban elites, while the Hungarian hoch culture mostly remained urban, e.g. the Hungarian literature Nobel prize and Oscar winners, all of them are urban. Merging govt. propaganda with "folk" art doesn't help.

also the Communists oppressing the traditonal Hungarian elites there was an uneasy compromise between the remainder of the two groups. Most of the folks elite was forced to stay in the countryside. This changed with the fall of Communism and the urban elite was forced into defensive position.

"urban" authors. This was also a divide in left-wing movements. Anti-semitism was never too concealed in these debates, as Jewish people were overwhelmingly in the urban camp, whatever the scene was. Then the Holocaust wiping out most of the Hungarian Jewish population outside Budapest, but

most government positions. This competition had a large role in the first anti-Jewish laws in the 20th century, (Numerus Clausus, 1922) and caused a very interesting schism in literature for example. There were the "folks"* representing the countryside and ethnic Hungarians and the more diverse

There is an interesting example in Hungary, starting from the second half of the 19th century, when land owners and industrialists competed for the leading roles in economic decision making. The industrialists were mostly in cities and had their own newspapers and influence,while landowners occupied

LOL

Nah, just the Hungarian experience(tm)

to transport deprived places is providing them with safe bike infrastructure.

Getting a more detailed profile will lead to criminalization and patologisation of the patterns shown by these people before they start to kill and there will be more detailed examination of environmental/social factors involved too.
