Proportional Representation

Yes, gone.

 

He won't get very far, look what happened with the Lib Dem coalition.

 

You should want to pay for your sons up bringing @Stephen Dawson.

 

Wouldnt have exciting election nights under PR.

Nobody ends up getting the Govt they voted for

 

And I'm expecting a lot of former FPTP enthusiasts to suddenly pipe up.

 

Providing he’s in a financial position to do so. Didn’t she leave him? I’d argue he wants 50/50 care but doesn’t allow this, like a lot do unfortunately. The system is only fit for women.

 

It really isn't. Courts will.apply 50/50 of its in the best interests of the child ans it's becoming more common. However, too many mainly men duck out of paying child maintenance. It's the child that matters, not who left who.

 

Bit of a black and white view. Have you thought that he may not want to fund his adulterous girlfriend and her new boyfriend’s lifestyle, whilst having minimal access to the child? This is pure speculation. But from what I’ve read from him in the past, he is a devoted and caring father.

 

So they're not funding his child at all? Is his child living off fresh air?
No one should begrudge paying for their child

 

Clearly you are more privy to his circumstances than me.

 

Agree.

Stephen has always come across this way, wanting what's best for his child.

I think it's unfair to cast aspertions on him - even if he did vote Tory last time

 

I'm obviously not but I'm assuming his child is housed, fed and clothed as a minimum because he's not posted anything to the contrary.

 

Ample evidence of the unfair nature of our bonkers electoral system. It's not fit for purpose and need serious reform.

 

Aye, and Lee Anderson. I was looking forward to never hearing from them 2 gobshytes again.

 

Not commenting on SD situation but. Paying for a child should be irrelevant to how much access you have.

 

Apparently this will likely be the most unequal election ever in the UK according to the Gallagher Index.

 

I’m guessing like a lot of fathers in this scenario he doesn’t begrudge paying for the child but does begrudge paying for the adults in the house.

 

Have you filed officially for 50/50 custody?

 

I think you’ve missed the point. Giving the mother an extra £100 does not mean the child gets £100 more spent on them…. But let’s wait for SD to respond.
