[Margaret Pilkington]

The problem is, that the lines that used to differentiate the political parties have got so blurred in recent years, that even a labour government(called New Labour) was a shade of mauve, there is no such thing as socialism anymore....politicians are not in the job to ensure their constituents get a good deal(or even a fair deal), that their voice is listened to, that their wishes are heeded...they are in the job because it is a lifelong career, one which they can line their pockets, at our expense, live high on the hog while all the rest of us struggle to pay the bills.
One rule for them and another one for the rest of us. Democracy is a joke. If voting really changed anything they would stop us from doing it.
