For the fi...At least they're talking about it. For the first time in years I've hear a major politician talking about the smoking ban.... Nick Clegg has just posted a video on Your Freedom saying that they will NOT be looking at the smoking ban. Even more disingenuously, he linked it in with capital punishment as if anti-ban folks are right-wing lunatics who want a regressive step backwards. Disgusting. <br /><br />I can't belive I'm saying this but it may well be time to start taking direct action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-78985222769005718692010-07-11T21:48:37.644+01:002010-07-11T21:48:37.644+01:00The nice thing about that race with Walker and Neu...The nice thing about that race with Walker and Neumann is that either one of them is predicted to win easily over the Democrat in the main race. Soooo.... if that stays true we may indeed see a repeal of a major US ban. The Governor probably has limited powers though: He might be able to propose and push for a repeal but the legislature would probably cast the real vote. The main power of the governor/president here resides in the Veto. If it's a bill they DON'T like they can keep it from passage by simple majority and require a 2/3 vote.<br /><br />- MJMMichael J.
