Does anyone agree with me that unfortunately we are seeing a noticeable deterioration of the news section?
What can we do to restore it back to how it once was?

I occasionally visit 'News' but find myself bamboozled by the quoting of previous posts back and forth by a few ABers and end up thinking that they should get a (chat) room for their spats.
One ABers 'debate' is another's 'spat'........I honestly have to say that I find News the most tedious and amusing part of AB.
It is a close run thing between News and R&S though, they have very similar characteristics.......largely that they tend to be exclusive rather than inclusive.

I fancied a complete change from the Daily Mail

In what respect exactly?
numbers of posts?
numbers of people posting?
range of subjects?
grammar?
mutual respect?
rationality of argument?
people starting threads then not continuing to contribute?
It's an interesting question but any perceived problem needs to be defined in order to discuss possible solutions

I have not noticed any deterioration. There seems to be just as many threads started as when I joined 10 years ago. There seems to be just as many posts.
I believe we are currently being ruled by a particularly boring Government. They cannot really achieve much because they are unsuited coalition partners. So the news agenda itself is currently quite dull.

We are in a 'dead' position at the moment . The coalition can't agree on much.
The outcome of the EU elections is unknown . As is the Scottish referendum.
All parties are planning for the next election. We may or may not have a referendum on EUROPE in 2017. We the electorate are being kept in the dark
by all the parties, apart from UKIP who are not hiding their views on Europe.
Whether we agree with UKIP or not on Europe, we do at least know their intentions.
Cameron has never said what he will do if we vote to leave the EU . I'm convinced he won't agree to be the PM of a country not in the EU . Neither will Ed M. .
We are being conned !
