The following are ostensibly the questions we are asked to consider.

Should it be a crime to pay for sex? The British government wants to make it illegal to pay for sex with prostitutes who are controlled by pimps or have been trafficked to the UK. Will this move protect vulnerable women? Men who pay for sex could be publicly identified and even charged with rape, if they knowingly have sex with a woman forced into prostitution. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said it would 'be a good thing' if the measures deterred men from visiting prostitutes. Sex workers have criticised the proposal, saying they could be at greater risk if they have to work alone or in remote neighbourhoods.
Should the sex-trade be subject to tougher laws? Or would decriminalisation be a better move? How should governments prevent trafficking?
The 1Party legal advice to seekers and purchasers of sexual services is this:
Apart from going equipped with the wherewithal for safe sex, he should also bring along a form to be filled in by the provider to protect him from criminal proceedings:
DECLARATION
I, [name of prostitute], a provider of sexual services, do hereby declare to [name of client] a purchaser of my sexual services, that I have not been forced into prostitution.
Sorted!
Vote: Should an officious and puritanical woman who indulges in empty gesture politics be allowed to remain Home Secretary?

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

It certainly should not be a crime to pay for sex.
It should only be a crime to pay for commodities which are themselves illegal.
It is fairly obvious that if prostitution in the UK were licensed it would reduce the incidence of both pimping and sex-trafficking.
Paying for sex is harmless.
I think overall I would prefer it if a woman had not been appointed Home Secretary.
There may be exceptions, but in general I feel that controlling prisons, crime and immigration is a job I do not really wish to entrust to a woman – particularly one with a feminist agenda.
