I'm not opposed 2 Burnham being in national politics, but we can't pin our hopes on a person 2 arrive 2 fix the flaws.
We can build systems of accountability for every 1 of our "leaders," using the Just Cultures as a model.

Currently, photo IDs are needed to vote (which has an alternative solution).
If the trade off was the ability to extend the voting window over multiple days, and/or be able to recall politicians to hold them accountable, their necessity could make sense.

The Russians are losing to Ukraine and Ukraine has 1 hand tied behind their back.
Russian has mercilessly bombed civilian cities, Ukraine has to only hit military targets.

By ensuring MPs (etc al) have to represent the constituency and not just a party, any MP with lower than 66% approval by the whole constituency would have to face a by-election.

I'd love after reliable bus service.
The bus service around here stops between 7pm and 7am.
It makes driving a necessity.
There doesn't seem to be any long term connectivity planned.
A dedicated bus to train station in sync with the train times would work wonders.
