What was left out of the Queen's speech?
A number of topics were surprisingly left out of the recent Queen's speech that some had expected to be included.
The Papers will be short of a story or two for the moment as the repeal to the fox hunting ban has been left out, I am sure this will come up within the term of this government, but it is a political hot potato, it's been over 10 years since the ban became law and Mr Blair the Prime minister at the time regrets the bill, not because of what it stood for but because of the problems it caused, riots in London and over 700 hours of debating time in parliament!
When, rather than if fox hunting does come up in parliament I am sure it will be a free vote for all MPs.
Employment matters regarding the removal of restrictions on employers hiring agency staff during strike action were omitted, this despite a government spokesman reiterating the government's commitment to make this happen, the speech did set out the intention to reform the unions and protect essential services from strike action.
I am sure the majority of ex-pats are also waiting with bated breath as to what is to happen with their voting rights, at the moment the law states that if you have been out of the country for 15 years then you cannot vote, it is anticipated that this will be increased or abolished under the new parliament but it was not mentioned, I am sure it will be and most probably came under the 'other proposals will be brought forward' statement in the speech, I have no doubt it will be proposed by the government, but when you consider that their are over 3 million people living overseas eligible to vote, yet just over 30,000 ex pats have registered it will not make a big difference, I agree with the idea that the time limit should be removed, as so many ex-pats have interests in the UK and have been part of the system for a long time.
The speech did centre around the concept of 'one nation', providing that is, the 'one nation' agrees to devolution, I suspect the UK political map in 20 years will look very different to the one we see today.
