  • Oh, and move the House of Commons to Hull.

  • I really like the idea of moving Parliament.

    It would be something else which would help the idea that people were making a commitment to being an MP (not that living outside of London requires dedication, but London is an easy option sometimes).

    It might help get rid of the idea of the 'liberal elite' and the ivory tower kind of reputation that MPs (I think unfairly) have got.

    And more diversification and dispersal of business, jobs and industries across the UK can only be a good thing, I think the UK is probably the most over-centralised country in Europe.

    I remember reading or hearing (possibly on here), that while if you removed London's economy from the UK it would obviously tank the whole nation, if you removed Berlin's economy from Germany it would actually get a boost overall. I'm not sure that's true given the tourist money they must get, but the fact that it's even conceivable says something.
