One problem with trying to become a 'non-nasty' political party is that the truth is too often highly unpalatable, so telling it as it is leads to political problems for the teller.
Liars and two-faced pedlars of nonsense climb the greasy pole and truth-tellers lose out every time. So, as the theory of evolution dictates, the truth-tellers become extinct.
Tufty - as fine and succinct a summary of the political scene as I have ever read. Thank you!
If I have any hope at all it is to be found in "The Selfish Gene" by R.Dawkins, in the chapter entitled "Good Guys Finish First". Worth a read...
Caratacus - thank you - I will try Dawkin's book. By the way, last year I took a few photos of your stone on Exmoor - found it very atmospheric.
T: Fair comment as C says and I agree too!
